Two Proven Models, DiSC® and Transitions, into One Powerful
Tool: Transition -- The Personal Path Through Change
We all face changes,
both wanted and unwanted, in every aspect of our lives: personal,
professional, and in the world around us. A challenge for today’s
companies is helping employees manage the change around them in a
fast-paced world, while remaining productive. Soon you will have a new
tool to help your clients maintain a productive work environment, while
aiding employees as they deal with the uncertainty and confusion that
comes with change. This tool is a new learning guide from Carlson Learning
Company, Transition -- The Personal Path Through Change.
Transition
is a Process
Based on the work of
William Bridges, Ph.D., this learning guide is designed to help people
successfully guide themselves through the challenge and uncertainty of
change. Understanding the difference between change and transition is the
first step in effectively coping with change. Change is defined as an
external event or situation, whereas transition is the psychological
reorientation that happens within us.
Transition -- The
Personal Path Through Change guides people through the three-phase
process common to almost all transition:
- Endings --
letting go of the old and familiar
- Neutral Zone -- a
confusing in-between state
- New Beginnings --
identifying with the new situation
Every individual
manages each phase in different ways and at different times. However,
these phases are common to us all when experiencing change. Understanding
these phases as we are going through them helps us guide ourselves from
resistance, to acceptance, to action.
Transition -- The
Personal Path Through Change helps you give your clients a meaningful
learning experience as they work through change that is inevitable in all
our lives.
Partnering
with the Power of DiSC
You know that DiSC
is a proven approach to helping people understand their emotions as well
as their behavior. Transition -- The Personal Path Through Change
mirrors DiSC in that it helps people understand the transition going on
inside them as they deal with external change. The two can be used
together to give people insights into their feelings and behavior in
regard to change. DiSC and Transition -- The Personal Path Through
Change both bring people to a higher level of understanding of
themselves.
"Transition
-- The Personal Path Through Change aligns with DiSC very well,"
says Pat Benson, Vice President, Publishing. "Our Distributors can
take their expertise in DiSC and apply it toward change management.
We’ve combined the proven model of DiSC in our profiles and Bridges’
proven model of transition in our new learning guide into a rewarding,
enlightening experience for their clients, while building their
business."
New
Tool, New Format
The format of this
unique 70+ page learning guide corresponds well with the concept of
transition. Since accepting change is not a one-time occurrence, but
rather a transition process over time, the learning guide is an effective
tool because:
| Its interactive
format actively engages people in the change they are experiencing and
how it affects them |
| It’s excellent
for use in a facilitated environment -- helping people understand the
difference between change and transition and the three-phases of
transition |
| Follow-up work is
built into the workbook; individuals work at their own pace responding
to the change they are experiencing in their own unique way
|
| It helps
individuals understand their internal response, and more effectively
deal with the external challenges. |
