The very idea of change can be very challenging. In order to support participants to better understand what might be getting activated for them when approached with the possibility of a transition, it’s important to identify, explore, and push through assumptions, challenges, and self-doubts that may be getting in the way of their success.
Being able to approach situations with solutions that go beyond the either/or, all-or-nothing binary is critical. Cultivating a both/and mindset allows us to think more expansively and creatively about challenges which then become fruitful opportunities to affect change.
