In our constantly changing world, we go through many transitions over a course of 5 years. Job changes. Life changes. Relationship changes. Family changes. This list could go on and on, especially during the Corona virus pandemic.
A while back, William Bridges came up with a model to help individuals and organizations to help people with change. In this session, we will look at the Bridges model of Endings, Transition, and New Beginning and explore creativity tools that can help us with each of the stages. We will consider the model in light of personal changes (rather than team or organizational changes).
During the session, we will explore the model and then identify a part of our life where change is currently happening. We will talk about and apply creativity tools to help us “manage” these changes with sensitivity and effectiveness.
Personal changes might include such situations as:
- Having a newborn in the house
- Moving to a new location
- Retiring
- Working remotely
- Finding a new job
