The Change Cycle™

Change has become the driving issue in our society, yet as a skill, most people fall short on how to take productive and/or healing steps to resolve the impact of change in their lives. Through the Change Cycle™ training series, workshop participants and coaching clients learn that they have a choice in how to deal with change as well as learn skills to do so immediately.

The Change Cycle™ shows us that people react, respond and adjust to change in a sequence of six predictable stages, and the model identifies the thoughts, feelings and behaviors associated with each stage of change. There is no better map to assist you in navigating through the changes in your life. (See Change Cycle Diagram below)

The Change Cycle Locator™ Self Assessment Profile and Survey Tool instrument is a validated assessment tool which helps you pinpoint where you are in the process of change. A powerful tool used in our coaching relationships, teleclasses, and leadership development workshops.

 

Stage 1 - Loss - In Stage 1 you admit to yourself that regardless of whether or not you perceive the change to be good or 'bad," there will be a sense of loss of what "was."

Stage 2- Doubt -In this stage, you doubt the facts, doubt your doubts and struggle to find information about the change that you believe is valid.

Stage 3 - Discomfort - You will recognize Stage 3 by the discomfort it brings. The change and all it means has now become clear and you learn to assimilate this new information in a meaningful way. The Danger Zone The Danger Zone represents the pivotal place where you make the choice either to move on to Stage 4 and discover the opportunities the change has presented or to choose fear and return to Stage 1.

Stage 4 - Discovery- Stage 4 represents the "light at the end of the tunnel." You now can see the options you have and the possibilities this change has presented. You are optimistic about a good outcome because you have choices.

Stage 5- Understanding - In Stage 5, you understand the change and are involved in it. You can identify its benefits and acknowledge its usefulness.

Stage 6 - Integration - By the time you reach Stage 6 you have stopped looking at "the change" as something different because you have integrated it's challenges and victories into your life.
