Published: June 26, 2023, 1:03 p.m.

Managing change effectively often boils down to the mindset we adopt and the feelings we allow ourselves to experience during the process. By intertwining these two elements, we can navigate change more successfully. \xa0 Carol Dweck's concept of a "growth mindset" posits that our abilities and intelligence can be developed over time. This perspective encourages us to view change as an opportunity for learning and growth, rather than as a threat.

According to Goddard, the feelings we cultivate within us are mirrored in our external world. If we can feel the joy and success that the positive outcome of a change could bring, we're more likely to achieve it.\xa0 \xa0 In times of change, leveraging the CliftonStrengths\xae tool can be extremely beneficial. By identifying your unique talents and strengths, CliftonStrengths\xae provides a roadmap to leverage your inherent abilities, aiding in the management of change. For instance, if "Positivity" is one of your top strengths, you might find it helpful to consciously cultivate positive feelings about the change. \xa0 Dive into our resources online and get one-on-one with our certified coaches.
