Change is defined as alteration, transformation and something different from the ordinary. With these definitions, it can be difficult to navigate change generally and specifically.
As a career communicator, I handled change communications and change management pretty much regularly. Change management can be summarized as a structured approach to transitioning something, individuals, teams and organizations from a current state to desired future state, aimed at employee empowerment for accepting change in the work environment. It demands transparency and clarity.
This means communicating simply and often and working with executives and other leaders regularly. I was proud to help employees and leaders learn how to adapt to change.
Both in companies and with individuals, change can be difficult. That includes each of us in our daily lives. Change isn’t easy. It can be messy. It can make life difficult at times.
