How To Deal With Constant Change At Work

Listen Later

Constant change is not easy.

Can feel like a rollercoaster ride.

Sometimes we will feel like we want to tap out and get off the ride.

I get it!!


Change can come in many ways:

  • Corporate transformations
  • Acquisitions
  • Mergers
  • Re-structure
  • Re-org
  • Layoffs
  • Hiring freezes
  • New leadership
  • Pay increase freezes
  • Opening and closing offices
  • Hyper growth
  • Lack of structures / systems

    • Tips:

    1. Deep breath
    2. Re-focus
    3. Set up ways to remind yourself of #2
    4. Try to understand why all the changes are happening
    5. Make your skillset known
    6. Stay the course
    7. Offer to help
    8. Be genuine and authentic
    9. Pause, slow down, reflect
    10. Evaluate - with all the changes, is this still a good fit for you?
    11. Keep positive / upbeat / optimistic
    12. Take the opportunity to learn new things
    13. Determine if you want to or need to set up new goals / change course
