Be Change-Smart, Proactively!

Unstoppable Change
Change is an inseparable part of every life-form on Earth. As the only civilized creatures, humans are impacted most by the ongoing change events and thus can benefit more by managing change smartly than by being mere spectators. Change momentum is unstoppable and over the last decade has accelerated far more than any preceding time thanks to the twin forces of globalisation and internet. If you are not prepared to go along with the all pervasive changes then you may soon be overwhelmed in the ‘superhighway’ called ‘life’! It is simpler and cheaper to adapt gracefully than play the ‘catch-up’ game. For today’s agile and info-trained professionals, change is profitable as you can learn to proactively leverage its many elements and even lead vital aspects of omnipresent change forces. For example profiting from online learning forums and staying in e-touch with friends and associations through social networking assets like facebook and twitter is not just participating in beneficial changes but also capitalizing on them by following ongoing global best practices as per your time convenience.

Individual Change Assessment
We are first individuals and then employees or business professionals. Hence as the first step we need to be aware of our own capabilities to make the best use of the changing situation(s). You need to carefully plan your own responses to the emerging change-situation. Taking help of a seasoned trainer or mentor at a reputed management training or leadership grooming business school will be of immense help. An educated, well trained response is always better than an ad-hoc response. Change is a chasm and can cause anxiety as you fear unknown repercussions; training can not only remove these but also empower you to profit from changes. Preparing for change requires changes in the way we live, work and even sleep. For example moving to a 24X7 business environment may require you to work in night shifts at times. Preparing the mind, and body for this change will require implementing changes in your diet, fitness, relaxation and work routine. The earlier you adapt the easier it becomes to minimize the negative effect of the un-avoidable ‘change-chasm’.
