Embrace Change

In the world of business, the only constant is change. With the integration of technology to most of the things we do, the speed in which changes occur has become ten times faster. Our ability to embrace change with an open mind, is the only thing that will make our life keep going. 

When I used to work at a huge multinational, once the word change appeared there were two approaches: those who resist and those who looked at it as an opportunity. As you may know, those who resisted would always claim that things were better as they are, and if things aren’t broken they don't need to be fixed. This resulted in a lot of pain, because change was probably in motion as they try and fight it. 

On the other hand, having people who fully embrace change as if they have chosen it was powerful. Their attitude towards this new thing (whatever it was) made other coworkers less resistant or afraid to walk in the unknown. People were more collaborative and positive once they started shifting their perspective from resisting to embracing what was unfolding right in front of their eyes.

Some key takeaways from this experience are:

·      Don’t try and control things

·      Let go of negative thoughts

·      Life is constantly giving challenges
