First, lets talk about change. We will use a simple exercise and reflect upon it.Lets create a circle. Everyone gets a sheet of paper. In 2 minutes, you have to draw something you can recognize.Now, you pass that sheet to the person at your left.Change the drawing you have received, however you want.After a time, the facilitator will ask you to pass to the person at your left.Go on with the exercise until you receive your own drawing.WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR DRAWING???Understanding change

StageCharacteristicsExampleChange (transition)An expected change for which you have the tools to face and manage.A castle of sand, the birth of a child, a new job.CrisisAn unexpected change for which you dont have the tools to face and manage, affecting your performance, your emotions, values and future vision.The destruction of a castle of sand, the loss of a job, death of a close relative.ChaosAn unexpected, undesired and unmanageable change; any model you have is useless to face this.A tsunami, a sudden bankrupcy of your company, you learn you are not part of your family.TransformationIt is the ultimate change, through which the final result is totally different. Glass, change of career, a new generation.

Stages of change
