Change is an event that is situational and

happens inside of us
Endings - disengage from what was
Neutral Zone - confusion, in-between state
New Beginnings - familiar with what will be,
acceptance of new reality

Each team member handles transition differently
Be visible in offering assistance
Communicate early and often, group, one-on-one,
publications
Ask for feedback
Focus on success
