The law of the nature says “Change!” and first human instinct says “What Change? I am fine.”

The human philosophy towards work:

As humans we all work very hard to reach specific mile-stones in our lives & without realizing much, we soon enter into our ‘comfort zones.’ A zone which is like the ‘best hide out’ we had when we were children.

Theories suggest that as individuals we love to follow routines as it does not require much of hard work. Once we have learnt the task, like machines we just repeat it over and over again. Hence, life becomes comfortable and we are at our best level of performance. At any point in time, if we are asked to leave our comfort zones, because things are changing, it is natural for us to dislike change & feel how unfair the whole situation is.

Change is perceived as an Evil:

Change is always seen as disorientation and increases anxiety levels in individuals. At times it is also perceived as a threat because we see our ‘perfectly created life’ slipping out of our hands. It has been scientifically proven that more than our heart, it is our mind that refuses to budge when we encounter Change. Where the heart ‘sinks’ in an unanticipated Changed situations the mind goes totally ‘numb or shuts down’ for some time.

Reasons for Change:

Someone once very correctly said that, the only 2 reasons when we will welcome Change, is either:
-    We are “too much in pain” & want to get rid of it.
-    Or we are “too much in pleasure” that we won’t mind it.

My reasons for designing this presentation:

5 years ago when I read the book ‘Who moved my cheese ?” the first time, I was thrilled to read how beautifully, simply & easily Spencer Johnson M.D. had understood the concept of Change and had made all his readers look at Change from raised a platform, like some one’s  story, yet so similar to correlate with.

It was then, when I decided that I must present this beautiful concept of “Coping with Unanticipated Change” to trainees who  undergo tremendous Change in their personal as well as professional lives. I highly recommend every individual to add this book in his personal collection & read it as often as possible, so that it ‘keeps your life within checks & balances.’

Organizations Benefit from this presentation:

Organizations must introduce the ‘Concept of Unanticipated Change’ to all their employees either as a

1. Preventive measure to restrict/promote certain behaviors patterns.
2. Or as a corrective measure to make them understand the rules of the game.

Run your employees through this presentation in all the below mentioned situations:

• Before appraisal time: This short presentation or a detailed ‘Change Management’ training must be given to the employees before the
  appraisal season,only to set the environment right.
• During Transition periods: When young college pass-outs’ enter into the Corporate jungle.
• During Induction programs: To set the right tone & atmosphere for new employees.
• While preparing employees for higher roles: Making employees look at things from higher or raised platforms.
• In cases the company is undergoing a major ‘Merger’ or ‘Acquisition’: This is a very sensitive situation as a lot changes in such circumstances.In order to team-up better with the new employees, all employees must understand the effect of Change they will undergo.

Synopsis of the ‘Coping with The Change Cycle’:

• Anticipate Change, as it will happen. If not today then tomorrow.
• Detach yourself from the situation & determine what impact (good/bad) it can have on your life.
• Don’t Flight or Fight, Look at Change positively as it can be a means to achieve your goals.
• Start working hard towards a new journey.
• Keep the ‘End’ in mind & then work towards it; this will motivate you to come closer to your dreams.
• Enjoy the Changed situations.
• But be better prepared for the upcoming ‘Unanticipated Change’.
