Kurt Lewin's Model of Change
Perhaps nothing brings more joy and suffering to our lives than change.
In this episode, Cameron explores Kurt Lewin’s 3-Stage Model of Change: Unfreeze, Change, and Refreeze. While often used in organizational strategy, this model can offer a profound reframe for personal growth.
Cameron shares a personal story about navigating social anxiety as a professor—moving away from the "sledgehammer" approach of forcing change, and toward the gentler, more effective process of "thawing" our fears piece by piece.
The Resource:
For a deep dive into Lewin’s model and other change management frameworks, check out Cameron’s guide: Change Management: The Complete Resource.
The Inquiry:
Where in your life do you feel frozen? Instead of trying to take a sledgehammer to that block of ice to force a radical change, ask yourself: What is one small, practical way you can apply heat today to begin thawing one small part of it?

Every Thursday, host Cameron Conaway shares a lens that has helped him live with more clarity and courage. No hacks. Just thoughts from a business school professor, former MMA fighter, and investigative journalist trying to wring every last drop out of this wild and precious life.
