You have heard it all before the ‘world is changing.’
Of course it is.
The difference seems to be that it is continuously changing.
And changing at a faster rate.
It could be a tweet from the US president or the world’s richest person and suddenly the world is different from what we all are just getting used to today.
And does anyone think it will be different in the future?
So how do we cope?
How can we succeed, even enjoy this never-ending change cycle?
We can hope it slows down.
Move to a deserted island (perhaps Tasmania) or we can:
Aim to be change-ready.
It’s such an interesting expression. To be change-ready.
I found it so much more insightful than adapting to change.
That is part of it but only half the story.
Adapting to change is necessary but it’s reactive. You have to wait for a change to happen.
To be change ready also means to be able to creative positive change when you need or want to.
In today’s world, where technology, society, and personal circumstances evolve at lightning speed, being change-ready is more than a skill—it’s a mindset that transforms how you live.
It’s about thriving amidst chaos, turning challenges into opportunities, and shaping your future, one small step at a time.
What Does Change-Ready Look Like?
Being change-ready means you possess the ability to:
- Adapt with Agility: Whether it’s a sudden job change, a family transition, or a global disruption like AI advancements, you can adjust your perspective and actions quickly, staying grounded and resilient.
- Create with Intention: You’re not just reacting—you’re proactively initiating change in your life, whether it’s breaking a habit, strengthening relationships, or pursuing a new passion.
- Embrace Uncertainty: Instead of fearing the unknown, you see it as a canvas for growth, approaching it with curiosity and energy.
- Feel Empowered: You trust in your capacity to navigate change, drawing on inner strength and practical tools to move forward.
How to Become Change-Ready
The secret lies in developing your ability to switch your thinking—a dynamic process that reframes how you see and tackle challenges.
Rooted in the latest brain science, this approach leverages the brain’s natural flexibility (shifting from the Control Executive Network to the Default Mode Network) to unlock new viewpoints instantly. Here’s how:
- Start Small: Begin with one small switch at a time—perhaps reframing a “tough problem” into a “beautiful opportunity” in just 2 minutes. These micro-shifts build momentum.
- Stay Energised: Each switch sparks a burst of energy, turning change into an uplifting experience rather than a drain.
- Supercharge with AI: Modern tools, informed by artificial intelligence, enhance this process, offering prompts or timing to keep you engaged and supported.
Unlike traditional change models—often rigid, top-down, and disengaging—switch thinking is empowering, playful, and bottom-up.
There are two modes of thinking which I call Box Mode and Ball Mode.
These are metaphors that are informed by the latest Brain Science.
It counters the flaws of corporate programs by putting you in the driver’s seat, using the six switches to make change feel accessible and fun.
