We live in the midst of change, and sometimes we feel overwhelmed. And yet, we are made to grow, and growth cannot happen without change. What will you do if you feel stuck or frozen not knowing what your next move should be?
Leadership transition is never easy. People frequently have the desire to be promoted and take on new things but do not want to let go of old and familiar tasks.
This episode gives a whole new direction on how to embrace your emotions through a transition. Cheryl shares effective techniques on how to grow leaders, guiding them in the midst of professional and organizational change and transition.
Transition is a prime opportunity for something new and unexpected to occur. If you learn to trust and be responsive, you can benefit greatly from surprises and synchronicities that lead you in whole new directions. The secret is trusting the process and trusting yourself.
