But was it Hetrzberg who said salary can be a dissatisfier? Which is very true. Unfortunately the draw of salary can distract most from being the best they can be.

These touch points are harder to maintain in a virtual world!

I love reading your updates. And I especially loved watching the Dan Pink Drive clip ... fabulous ... lots to think about :-) I have already forwarded it to a mass of people this morning.

I think renaming the 3 stages to Loss, Limbo and Life is also an effective way to help remember the stages. I too have recently been reminded that my propensity to gallop ahead with changes and to forget that everyone needs their own time and space to understand and adjust; failure to allow this can create negativity and then makes the whole process so much harder for everyone. I look forward to the next instalment.

The anticipation of a change, letting go of the past, disorientation (a stage described very effectively in this blog), re-evaluating, and recommitting to the new situation. At the end of the day, I think granting one’s self permission to experience all of these stages, allowing the feelings to emerge and then evaluate the learning’s and applying them to whatever is “next” are the real lessons when dealing with change. There is a real vulnerability here for us all but I love what comes next!
