The Ultimate Equation

There is nothing more encouraging to a trainer than when the trainees get the message and do something with it.

Change is a powerful concept. Change can be a positive word. It can also be a scary word. For every person who embraces positive change for the better, there is someone who is skeptical of that change. They might not know why, but there is resistance.

We all experience barriers when we are introduced with something new. And we all know that every decision has consequences. We are forced with a decision to make. Either the barriers and reasons not to change are so great and the consequences of the change would do more harm than good. Or, the potential for the good consequences that would come from the change is greater than the barriers. 

So, either: barriers > consequences, or consequences > barriers. Make sense?

This message is 2-fold (because you know I have to tie this in with the kids, too). Just like there is nothing more encouraging to a trainer than when trainees get the message and do something with it, there is nothing more encouraging to a teacher than when a child gets the message and does something with it.

You see, trainers and teachers have the advantage of knowing the research behind why certain changes are good. We have experienced the changes. We know how they will make a situation better. But, some trainees, just like the children, may still be in the learning process. They're just not sure what will happen on the other side of that decision. They don't trust it. They're just not sure.

People stick with what they know because it is comfortable. It may not be the best, but it feels better than venturing into the unknown.

The unknown can be a scary place, but it can also be a place full of wonderful pathways that will lead you to bigger and greater things.

 So, weigh your options. To change or not to change? Do the equation. You decide.
