"If you give people support in the early days of a change by listening deeply to their concerns and questions, without being dismissive or overly reassuring, they'll feel heard and supported".

Change is not easy but sometimes necessary. But with the right support and communication it becomes easier to open up and accept the change.

# data[].attributes.body
My biggest takeaway is that I need to shift my mindset into being more change capable. I know that I am capable of change when I am ready to do something - but when it is forced... I become more resistant and hesitant. I have been concerned about next year and what it is going to look and feel like. I truly hope I can begin to understand the why...(from Mayor Adams).

Most people tend to react negatively toward change. Although it is comforting to have routines and the same structures in place, we will never know what else is possible or what more we are capable of unless we embrace change.

My big takeaway from the article is the fact that change is hard to overcome when people have been grounded in their mindsets. Shifting to a "change-capable" mindset can help people work through their own individual Change-Arc.

# data[].attributes.body
What will the change look like and how will we support those who don't want to change?

# data[].attributes.body
My take away on the article is change can be difficult for most people to grasp but it is a process that we all can accept with open minds with the help of the right agenda for others. Change has become something most people automatically react negatively to and this article helps demonstrate a structure for leaders or anyone in general that can be helpful for them to approach changes towards others in a more informative and open minded way.

# data[].attributes.body
My big takeaway is that when we find out that a change is going to occur we typically approach that change with a negative mindset. However, our own mindset and the information we are given when a change is announced can control how we react to it. It is important to share why a change is happening, what might not change at all, what will happen as a result of that change, and what training/tools will

# data[].attributes.body
Change is a difficult thing. Sometimes we get stuck in a routine and feel like thats the correct path we should be on we push back on change because we think that was is currently happening is what's best. However with support this mentality can change because we will be able to see why its not longer working and why a change needs to be done.

# data[].attributes.body
My take away from this article it to know why change is happening? what is the change- learn more about it, getting educated on it, and see how it is presented to benefit our future as educators.

Change is inevitable, as we all know very well, and our mindset heavily affects how change unfolds.

Change might feel difficult or uncomfortable, however with the change of your mindset and the right support change can be positive.

# data[].attributes.body
My take away from this article is the importance of giving people time to process changes in their own timeline, to  not fall into the common pit fall of  jumping right into "reassuring / diminishing anxiety" mode before individuals can work through their feelings (change arc). Additionally,  whenever possible giving those individuals autonomy or choice to support with the impending anxiety and uncertainty that is inevitable when something is changing.  Lastly, the importance of patience, and a change in mindset from leaders when talking about the upcoming change.

Not everything is negative. It's okay to embrace the change .

# data[].attributes.body
The key take away from this article is change is fine. Support is the key component to help individuals absorb what is ahead or what changed. People need to internalize it in a positive way. Many individuals like control and may feel anxiety when not included in the change process.

# data[].attributes.body
Change can be a process that many are unwilling to accept. I think it is essential to recognize this is a normal feeling and to have grace with oneself. Also realizing that change is not necessarily negative even if in that moment we perceive it to be. Change is ultimately something that an individual undergoes to establish growth and many different lessons. Shifting one's mindset positively is key to embracing change.

# data[].attributes.body
Fear and/or discomfort are normal reactions to change. One should realize and accept that they may only see negatives when faced with change, as what you're familiar with is being modified. Despite the fears that may initially arise when exposed to the idea of change, one must overcome them and try to see the positives. However, it does not have to be a process that's done alone.

There is a change arc during which a shift occurs that allows one to be more open to and accepting of a change. In order for this shift to happen, one must move through the pattern of the arc.

# data[].attributes.body
My big take away is learning to shift your mindset can be difficult because we have been conditioned to do things one way for generations. However, with support and control (learning about the change) shifting your mindset can become easier.

# data[].attributes.body
My big takeaway from this article is change does not have to be negative. There is no "right way" to process change and it looks different for everyone. When given support and control it can ease the new happenings. It is a process we can all benefit from.

# data[].attributes.body
How can we accept change when the changes do not align with our beliefs?

Change is a process, and it's okay to have a variety of feelings about it. That process is all a part of adjusting to change.

# data[].attributes.body
The take away for me was that it's normal to initially feel negative feelings at the thought of change. I thought it was only me. I tend to think of myself as a creature of habit and maybe most people are. However, knowing that that you are not alone in feeling this way, makes me feel better and helps shift the focus on the positive side of change.

# data[].attributes.body
Change can be difficult at first but accepting and embracing the change can switch up your mindset we start to be willing to the new thing and adapt our behavior.

When someone is "resistant" or "unwilling" to accept a new change what are other ways, besides what we read in the article that we can reach out and build trust and confidence in that individual?

# data[].attributes.body
Understanding how change affects myself and others is helpful. Naming the possible feelings and knowing why feels clarifying. It also feels supportive to see a plan for support through change.

# data[].attributes.body
Our initial reaction to change is often that it's difficult, costly, and weird. But, with the right supports, we can move through those feelings and come out the other side. And perhaps what's on the other side is better than what's on this side! Approach the change with open mindedness and curiosity.

# data[].attributes.body
Your mindset about change is important in helping you adjust to this change. Being open-minded and learning about the changes can help you make an easier transition.

# data[].attributes.body
The main takeaway I got from the article is that while change can be difficult, it doesn't have to be. We can shift our mindset from thinking that change is difficult, costly, and weird, to the mindset that it is easy (doable), rewarding, and normal. This shift can be made easier with a strong leader/strong leaders who are willing to support their team through the process by acknowledging that change can be hard, but the mindset shift is made easier with the right tools and information.

I found the suggestions on how to implement change easier interesting. I myself find that if I know change will result in a positive outcome, and have a realistic understanding about what the change is, I am more open to change and less anxious. It is the unknown aspects of change that can make it difficult.

# data[].attributes.body
Change is never easy for most because with change comes many fears of the unknown. Unknowns can be perceived as a threat to what is comfortable to us. However, learning to embrace change starts with shifting our mindsets and having the support to embrace all the unknowns.

# data[].attributes.body
For me, the need for understanding when change happens is extremely important. Receiving the necessary foundational information and answering the questions, "What's changing (for me), why is it happening, & what will the future look like post-change?" helps me to feel more ready to frame the idea of change in a positive way.

# data[].attributes.body
Change can be hard. Processing the change with support can help make the transition easier and more welcoming.

# data[].attributes.body
Change is difficult, hard, scary and sometimes life changing. Even something as simple as a change in your day to day schedule can be a little nerve wrecking. I think the biggest take away I took from this article is, that with information, respect of peoples feelings, especially when they receive the news of new implementations, and a voice to be able to freely state their concerns and addressed by those who are in charge of delivering changes to policies, procedures, etc is a good way to build trust and ease resistance to the new implementations in place. Communication is key and essential for the progression and growth of any organization.

# data[].attributes.body
Change is hard but it might not necessarily mean it is for the worse. Just like how we gave other changes an opportunity to show it's potential, we need to give these new changes the same opportunity as well. Don't judge a book too quickly.

Although change is hard, there are ways to make it easier. I know for me clarification and having as much information as possible make it easier, similar to the examples in the article. -Kristin

# data[].attributes.body
My takeaway after reading this article is to take the time to understand the change before thinking and jumping into the negatives. Also, to think about everything else that is in place and to try to understand the change in a positive way.

# data[].attributes.body
It's normal for people to feel discomfort and negatively when first presented with change, it's in our DNA to want to stay in our comfort or in what we know . Those feelings eventually turn into more comfortable ones that then help bring ease to the new initiative.

# data[].attributes.body
I think about people I've known who embrace change in their lives and world. It clearly is a mindset or even a habit for them. The most important part of this habit from what I have seen is knowledge. Learning about the change and about yourself in reaction to the change demystifies it. The number one thing I see in people who are challenged by change is fear. Knowledge can tame fear.
