Getting Comfortable with the Discomfort of Change

March 23, 2016

Discomfort is necessary for real change

When you are a change expert do people expect you to navigate change effortlessly? That was the question Stephanie Staples, host of the radio show Your Life Unlimited, asked when she was interviewing me about my book Launch Lead Live. The short answer was yes, people think because I’m immersed in change it’s somehow easier. The truth is I also find change uncomfortable. Discomfort is a necessary and normal part of real change.

It can be uncomfortable to let go of what we know and adopt something new. The key is to learn how to use that discomfort to achieve the results you want.
