Today, we talk about change. I don’t think we will ever be able to speak enough about this topic, mainly because it’s all around us! So, when you’re in doubt, ask an expert! And I did: I’ve had the pleasure of having Jessica Everitt as a guest, and she is a change expert specializing in personal and organizational transformations. Jessica is known for adapting formal change management techniques for personal success. You can definitely learn more about her on her website, www.jessicaeveritt.com or find her on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jessicaeveritt
In this episode, we speak about:
- how change is manageable in small steps
- what are the four personalities towards change
- what you can do if you are uncomfortable speaking in public (apart from working with me😊)
- how your strong skills muscles as a child may define your career as a grownup.
Instead of conclusion
I don’t know about you, but this talk right here reassured me that, well, the fact that I choose different routes to and from work means I practice change, bit by bit. Or that when I put myself out there every day, and I feel uncomfortable in certain situations, that’s gonna help me manage my reaction to change better. So I will also remember that ‘Not all fears are the same and not all of them deserve the same reaction.’
And I will forever remember that ‘it takes ten thousand hours to become an expert. As Jessica’s inspirational quote goes, by David Allen – ‘You can do anything, but not everything’. And I have one quote I love from Jessica: ‘when you want something enough to invest 10,000 hours into it, you can excel at it. Even if you don’t think you have any natural ability. Brandon Burlsworth is the perfect example. If you haven’t heard his story, go check out the movie Greater, it’s on Netflix right now.’ There, I have to go now, I’ll be busy watching this movie, and, as usual, make it All Personal. How about you? Until next time.
