Sharing my ideas online has been in my mind for a while. Its surreal to finally start sharing something.

A topic close to my heart is change!

I have been going through a lot of that in the recent past. As a leader I have learnt that time is a luxury often times when you have to implement change. The curve sort of just comes at you and you have to find a way of getting through it as fast as possible as you have a whole team looking at you for direction.

In such occasions i draw from my own experiences of change in the past. The truth is that we go through change throughout our lives and we often learn how to manage through and even enjoy it. Its only when the change threatens our security or source of livelihood that suddenly we are in a panic and get stuck.

My advice? Draw in the past successful changes you have gone through when you went to college in a new place, had a baby, started a relationship, got married, experienced the pain of death and other such instances. We have all been through them and most often successfully.

Be aware that change is going on around us everyday, be alert to how these changes impact you and try to have a big picture view at all times. While living in the present, do not fear peering into the future to see how well prepared you can reasonable be. When the change finally gets her, take a deep breath and keep breathing. It will soon pass and you will be the wiser and stronger as you move on to the next wave of change.
