And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to John Abrams, the hardest thing in growing a small business is getting everyone aligned behind a single mission—what he describes as “getting all the wood behind a single arrow”—while also maintaining core values in the face of numerous external temptations. He emphasizes that as a business grows, staying true to its founding principles becomes increasingly difficult, yet it's essential for long-term success and integrity. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? John Abrams' favorite business book that has helped him the most is Managing Transitions by William Bridges. He values it for its insights on how to effectively move from one stage of business to another, emphasizing that it offers guidance on navigating all kinds of changes within a company. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? John Abrams recommends several alternative sources of learning rather than traditional business media. He highlights The Ink and The Contrarian as valuable platforms, along with communicator Anat Shenker-Osorio for her insights on messaging and influence. While not all are strictly business-focused, he finds them powerful for understanding communication, leadership, and societal context—all of which he sees as essential to growing a meaningful small business. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? John Abrams recommends strong communication tools—both written and spoken—as the most important resource for growing a small business. He believes that clear, effective communication is the key to building relationships, aligning teams, and driving a business forward successfully. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? John Abrams would advise himself on day one of starting out in business to recognize that it's going to be an incredible ride, to enjoy every minute of it, and to stay conscious and aware of how he builds relationships with people, as they are the true key to success. He reflects that in his early years, he focused too much on product quality and not enough on the importance of people, which he later realized is what small business is really about.

Au fil de notre vie, nous traversons plusieurs transitions. Parfois, elles résultent d'événements extérieurs imprévus et involontaires. D'autres fois, elles découlent de nos propres choix. Ces moments de changement nous poussent à adopter de nouvelles perspectives sur nous-mêmes et sur notre environnement. Qu'il s'agisse d'une décision personnelle ou d'une situation imposée, une transition représente toujours un défi. Elle demande du temps de réflexion et d'introspection de qualité. Vouloir précipiter les choses ou les nier peut souvent aggraver la situation. Comme l'expliquent William Bridges et son épouse Susan, la clé pour bien gérer une transition est d'abord de se comprendre soi-même. Leur livre Transitions est devenu un classique depuis sa parution en 1979. Réédité pour son 40ᵉ anniversaire, il offre une grille d'analyse précieuse pour comprendre où nous en sommes dans le processus et identifier nos besoins. Avec près de 30 ans d'expérience en tant que conseiller d'orientation, j'ai trouvé essentiel d'ajouter cet outil à mon approche. Ce modèle enrichit ma pratique en me permettant d'accompagner mes clients dans leur quête de clarté et d'équilibre face aux transitions qu'ils traversent.

Welcome to Season 5 of the Forty Drinks Podcast. I'm kicking off the season with an exploration of transition versus change, which are entirely different things according to William Bridges, PhD in his best-selling book, Transitions: Making Sense of Life's Changes. Transition vs. Change: Navigating the Midlife TransitionStephanie McLaughlin kicks off season five of the Forty Drinks Podcast by exploring the concept of transition versus change, inspired by the best-selling book by William Bridges, PhD, Transitions: Making Sense of Life's Changes. The way William Bridges presents the two concepts, they are not the same thing at all. These two words are not interchangeable. A change, he says, is situational and external. It could be starting or leaving a job or relationship, having a baby, moving to a new place, the death of a parent, getting married or divorced, starting or buying a business, leaving the military, changing career, your kid going off to college. All these are CHANGES. A transition is psychological and internal. It is the reorientation or redefinition of the self that you go through in order to incorporate these changes into your life. Unless this transition happens, he says, change doesn't work. Further, transition, as Bridges presents it, is a three stage process. First, there is an ending. Then there is a neutral zone. Then, there is a new beginning. He describes the subject of the book as: “the difficult process of letting go of an old situation, of suffering the confusing nowhere of inbetweenness, and of launching forth again in a new situation.”These concepts, and more from the book, will provide a framework for the midlife transition that we'll go back to throughout the season.

The weekly message from Community Church Edinburgh. This talk is from Sunday, 10th Mar 2024.Kirsty introduces this series on grief and discusses why it is such an important topic. Grief and loss are part of the human experience, one which Jesus shared with us. Kirsty looks at how being human means being an emotional being. How do we cope with that? And what can help us process the emotions around grief and loss. During her talk Kirsty referred to Cruse Bereavement Care who offer training, bereavement counselling and a number of ways of supporting people in bereavement. She also referenced a book by William Bridges called ‘Transitions: Making sense of life's changes', which is largely about dealing with change , but has a lot of common ground with grief and loss.

Ingrid Kirst, the CEO of Ingrid Kirst Consulting, brings a refreshing perspective on understanding change at nonprofit organizations. She highlights the importance of differentiating between change and transition, using the Bridges model developed by William Bridges. Ingrid begins with the point that change represents external events, such as leadership changes or relocations, while transition involves the internal process of how individuals perceive and adapt to those changes. "Just because something changed doesn't mean we were ready for it mentally." This quote encapsulates the central theme, highlighting the significance of managing the emotional and mental aspects of transitions within nonprofit organizations. Ingrid elaborates on the three stages of the Bridges model: Endings: Organizations need to acknowledge what is ending and give everyone the opportunity to process their feelings and concerns about the change. Neutral Zone: This is the in-between phase where individuals begin to adapt to the new reality. It's a time for creativity, brainstorming, and preparing for the new beginnings. New Beginnings: The final stage involves embracing the change, setting new goals, and involving everyone in shaping the future of the organization. The fast-paced discussion covers the importance of effective communication throughout the change process, with Ingrid highlighting the need for consistency in conveying information. She stresses how over-communication can be beneficial, ensuring that staff and NPO stakeholders are well-informed about the ongoing changes and the organization's plans. As the interview concludes, Ingrid makes a prediction for the nonprofit sector, stating that more organizations are becoming open to discussing and preparing for change and transition. She emphasizes that proactive planning and communication can ultimately lead to more resilient and stable nonprofit organizations.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Molly McGrath discuss:Hiring right and hiring legal leaders. Changing your interview process to focus less on the resume and more on the human interaction. Giving time, attention, and feedback in real-time. Investing in personal and professional growth to attract and retain team members.  Key Takeaways:You are hiring human beings, not human doings. Employees and team members are wanting purpose and reason in their job. When hiring, it should be a hard yes or a hard no. If it is a maybe, you are trying to convince yourself. You will know within 30 days if someone is a good fit or not. The #1 thing people want is connection and collaboration. Automations are great, but don't forget about the soft skills and the people aspect of managing your team.  "I really am very passionate about transforming the great employee resignation and quiet quitting into the great employee restoration." —  Molly McGrath Thank you to our Sponsors!LegalEase Marketing: https://legaleasemarketing.com/Moneypenny: https://www.moneypenny.com/us/Practice Panther: https://www.practicepanther.com/ Episode References: Law Firm Admin Bootcamp: https://hiringandempowering.com/law-firm-leadership-development-program/Book: Transitions by William Bridges - https://www.amazon.com/Transitions-Making-Sense-Lifes-Changes-ebook/dp/B004ZY23TS About Molly McGrath: Since the late nineties, Molly has coached, consulted, and directed presidents and founders of national organizations and over 4,000 law firms in; executive-level leadership, continuous improvement, and team empowerment initiatives to infiltrate new markets, leveraging partner ecosystems and producing profitability.

In this second episode of our new series on Transitions in the church Canon Mark and Fr. Brian discuss the vital difference between “change” and “transition” and introduce us to William Bridges and his three stages of change concepts grounded in the Biblical story of Exodus.

Today's adults are living longer, healthier lives. In years past, when someone retired, they could expect to live another ten or 15 years, leaving plenty of time just to enjoy the fruits of a lifetime of hard work. But retirement can become less appealing when you're facing 20 or 30 years of nothing but leisure--and perhaps some boredom. It can be daunting to face starting a new career at 60, but an encore career can be rewarding in many ways. You may need to reposition yourself in the market to reflect your value proposition to fit your new career target. You might even need to polish your networking skills. With thoughtful planning, your encore career can be exactly what you envision. In this episode, Lynn's guest is Gina Riley, a career transition coach who teaches leaders and executives how to step into new careers. With her nine-step Career Velocity system, Gina works with her clients on marketing, LinkedIn, job searches, strategy, networking, and becoming thought leaders in their areas of expertise. Gina reveals some of her secrets to elevating her clients' confidence while guiding them toward their new career adventures. We'll dive deeper into these concepts: How Gina Riley transitioned from a career in HR to inventing a nine-step model designed for executives and leaders to help them navigate the messy middle Why an extended career has become even more important as we are living healthier and longer lives The amount of time having a growth mindset can add to your lifespan How Gina assists her clients in transitioning to a new career by laying the groundwork before the change Your value proposition in a new field and the role of a diverse network in your career transition The steps to build your value proposition in your encore career using Gina's recommended tools Why you should be approaching your encore career with a spirit of inquiry and curiosity How to create a unique value proposition and talk about it with confidence and clarity How she teaches her clients to become thought leaders The reason to start making a plan for your encore career before it's time to make the leap Now, for some action steps: Download the free worksheet: Three Steps You Need for a More Productive Workday Books by William Bridges: https://wmbridges.com/books/ Read: YouMap Visit Gina's website: https://ginarileyconsulting.com/ My Resources: A quick guide to help you get started on your Encore Journey encorecareermindset.com My Website https://www.lynnfriesth.com/ Please leave a Rating and Review: Since this podcast is new, I'm asking for Apple Podcasts reviews.

When is an ending really an ending? What does it look like to measure our lives less by calendars and clocks and more by seasons? Changing our perception of the ebbs and flows of our lives may help us identify signs of change, both past and present.

When we pick up on the Israelites story today, we find them in what William Bridges, in his book Transitions, calls “the neutral zone.” And I don't know about you, but that word neutral immediately makes me think of being stuck. You put your car in neutral and floor the gas- doesn't matter, you're not going anywhere. And that feeling isn't too far off from how Bridges defines this part of a transition. He says that the Neutral Zone: (SLIDE) the in-between time where you hang suspended between what “was and will be” (p.40) Basically, this is the part of the transition where we wait. And wait and wait and wait some more. And it's not always pretty when we wait for an extended period of time. We can get impatient, we can want to give up...all the momentum has run out once we hit the neutral zone, and we have to figure out if we're going to make it to what comes next or if we're going to bail. I don't know what kind of change or transition you might be going through right now- it might be a job change, the end of a relationship, trying to get your kids back on a school schedule, or beginning to care for an aging parent. It might be a transition that you've chosen or one that you're dreading. But I do know that at some point, each and every one of us during a transition is going to want to give up. We're going to wonder if it's worth it or we're going to hit a patch of grief that feels too big. If that's where you are today- if you're wondering if you're going to make it through, or you're just exhausted by the waiting- I want to encourage you to keep going. Perseverance doesn't magically take the hard stuff away. But it does point us toward hope and what's possible.   See sermon notes and more at stlukesumc.com/sermons  Subscribe to receive our latest messages: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2noPhgDOhmto8RUWahIww?sub_confirmation=1   To support St. Luke's in our mission to be an open, antiracist, justice-seeking church, visit http://stlukesumc.com/give.  We are an open community of Christians helping people find and give hope through Jesus Christ - regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, nationality, disability or socioeconomic background.   ——  STAY CONNECTED  Website: https://stlukesumc.com  St. Luke's UMC Facebook: https://facebook.com/stlukesindy  St. Luke's UMC Instagram: https://instagram.com/stlukesindy​  St. Luke's UMC TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stlukesindy  St. Luke's UMC Twitter: https://twitter.com/stlukesindy  St. Luke's UMC YouTube: https://youtube.com/stlukesindy  St. Luke's UMC Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/stlukesindy

We all know that change is constant.  We sure have all endured our fair share over the last several years!    It is critical that leaders know how to effectively lead both themselves and their teams through change.  We can have the best change management strategies in the world - but it is the ability to have healthy awareness around the human side (the psychology) of change that will really catapult change success. In the first of two episodes about leading through change - Angie talks about what change is and shares the William Bridges' Transitions model.  Change is situational - transition is psychological.  We dig into why knowing this difference matters.

But so many of the emotions we experience along our journeys are remarkably similar.Meet Linda Leary. Entrepreneur. Outdoorswoman. Angler.She learned to fly fish as a child in Maine with her father, an avid fly fisherman. But, Linda noticed she was always having to wear baggy men's fishing clothing that didn't make her feel comfortable or confident.  This is when her idea of FisheWear was born, a women's fly fishing apparel company that makes functional, unique clothing that female fishers can feel confident and comfortable in. FisheWear makes clothing and accessories including leggings, belts, hats, and more, that have been designed through collaboration with artists. Since its inception in 2015, FisheWear has gone on to collaborate with companies like Orvis, XTRATUF, and more.  In this episode, Sylvia and Linda talk about the beginnings of FisheWear, comparisons between fly fishing and flying, how fly fishing can be transformative, the importance of networks when starting a company, and inclusion in the fly fishing industry.Topics Include: - Linda's history with fly fishing- Getting out of your comfort zone and learning something new - The importance of letting go of perfection while still exercising precision- Experience of Alaskan lodges and fishing expeditions - Future vision of FisheWear- How nature is crucial for energy and inspiration- Advice for entrepreneurs - Starting a new career later in life - Special places in Alaska- The transformative nature of focus and patience - And other topics… Linda Leary is the founder of FisheWear, a woman's fly fishing apparel company based in Alaska.

"Your job is to learn and understand, not know everything." - Christopher Littlefield Today my guest is Christopher Littlefield, international speaker, author, and founder of Beyond Thank You. Chris' company is a training and consulting firm specializing in employee appreciation, recognition, and workplace culture. He is a writing contributor to both HBR and Forbes, as well as being a genuinely good human! Today he sits down with us to discuss how you, as a leader, can level up your employee appreciation game. In this episode you'll learn: -Why employee appreciation matters (now more than ever) -How to recognize teams and individuals in a remote/hybrid world -Practical tips and tricks that you can start using right now, today -And much more! How to create a ‘safe space' at work People talk about psychological safety, but how do we create that? We create that by sending signals to people every single day that we value who they are and what they contribute, and what it takes to do their job each day.   Employee appreciation is also conflict prevention When people feel valued at work, they will be able to relate to your feedback as a contribution and not as an attack. If you show your appreciation often, they'll be able to take in your suggestions and not feel defensive about it.   What makes a good manager It's so easy as new managers to feel like you have to prove you're worthy of your position. But what proves to people that you're worthy is if they can feel that you understand them and that you're willing to help them succeed. And when you serve them to support their success, then they're going to make you shine as well.

Sometimes we get in a rut in our homeschools and do not make the changes that are necessary for our children to succeed. It takes courage to make big changes in your homeschool - and generally when you have a nagging feeling that something isn't right it's time to make a change. In our Homeschool podcast, you'll learn how to navigate change in your home by placing yourself at the helm of your homeschool, whilst also trusting in Allah and your instincts. (Affiliate Links may be included. See Disclaimer for more information.) In Episode 79 of the Raising Mums podcast, I share how we can manage to navigate change in our homeschool and positively move through transitional phases. This Homeschool Podcast episode discusses: Embrace the emotions you and your children feel during these periods of transition. Do not feel shame or guilt for a feeling. According to the author William Bridges, there are three stages to managing a transition: 1. Letting go, 2. Uncertainty 3. Acceptance Change is a time when we "remember". Imam Al-Hadad says that remembrance is, "the pillar of the Path, the key to realization, the weapon of the seekers, and the unfolding of sainthood." - The Book of Assistance. Trust that whilst you may not understand it, or want it, Allah has a plan. Don't hold your plans too tightly. This is not the end, but a new beginning. On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Allah the Almighty said: I am as My servant thinks I am" (Hadith Qudsi 15) Related by al-Buhkari (also by Muslim, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn-Majah).

It's been said that the only constant in life is change. While that's true, it's not always reassuring. Change, as William Bridges explains it, is “situational: the move to a new site, the retirement of the founder, the reorganization of the roles on a team.” It can be the end of a relationship, the death of a parent, the move of your best friend. Any change brings with it a gap, some-thing called a transition. These in-between times are hard, even in the best of circumstances, because they represent moving from one phase of life to another.

This week we are continuing our five part series on Navigating Transitions! My special guest Carolyn Grant and I talk about the William Bridges model along with the ending stage of a transition and the emotions that are involved. We discuss some strategies on how to approach the beginning of a new season as you exit an old one. We hope this gives you clarity and encouragement!

In this episode Lisa shares ideas around change and transition.  Some people thrive in change, others really struggle with it.  Change is an event.  Transition is a psychological process with 3 phases: ending, neutral zone, new beginning.   Based on William Bridges' Transition Process Model, Lisa discusses the difference between change and transition, shares stories demonstrating the change and transition processes, and ideas on how to lessen the difficulty of change.A deeper understanding of the impact of change (through the transition process) helps us respond to and manage this experience that happens over and over in our lives.  Some changes are significant and may take years to go through the full transition process.  Other changes are fairly minor and we'll process them within minutes.  Keep in mind that each person processes the transitions in their lives at different paces.  Two people going through the exact same change may have very different journeys through the transition process.Read more at William Bridges website Click here for : Books on TransitionsBlog: The Trials of Transitionswww.makelifelessdifficult.com

On this episode of Frontline Innovators Brett Broadrick, Senior Organizational Change Consultant at Cerner Corporation joins host Justin Lake to talk change management!   Change causes a lot of anxiety and frustration. But--just like gravity--we can't fight it. We can leverage it, and we can know how to work with it, but we know that technology is ultimately going to change frontline workers' experiences. Instead of glossing over this reality, what can we do with this reality? What can we do for the frontline worker? Change management doesn't erase the transition a company goes through when implementing change, but it can shorten it and shallow the curve.     Takeaways    The biggest challenge facing the deskless workforce: sacrificing quality for efficiency How a company can be a “change architect”  Why you must not leave your frontline workers out of the planning process Change management and the William Bridges transition model What is ADKAR and where does training fall in this process Pathways to recovery are numerous, but they all boil down to the same change management methodology in the way that our brains work   Links   LinkedIn: brett broadrick 1 Company Website: https://www.cerner.com Company LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cerner-corporation/ IBM Study - making-change-work Bridges Transition Model: https://wmbridges.com/about/what-is-transition/   Ways to Tune In:   Amazon Music - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/2f4ecd92-6468-4769-b0bf-254e236510b7/FRONTLINE-INNOVATORS  Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frontline-innovators/id1572329402 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/29m3wnK8pbFjdSvJ9wjmyS Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/frontline-innovators Google Play - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZnJvbnRsaW5laW5ub3ZhdG9ycy5jb20vZmVlZC54bWw YouTube - Full video - https://youtu.be/LAOcY2q88v8
