Adapting to change

Free — no account needed to read

A good life plan should be adaptable, not fragile.

By the end of this module

You will adapt to changing plans without losing your values, respond to surprises in both directions, and have a clear way to decide whether to persist, pivot or let go.

Lessons

• Why plans change — Plans are made with what you know now. Life keeps teaching you more. (7 min)

• Unexpected opportunities and setbacks — Surprises arrive in both directions. Each needs a slightly different response. (7 min)
• Learning a new environment — A new job, city or community has unwritten rules. Learning them changes you a little too. (7 min)
• Persist, pivot or let go — Three honest options when something isn’t working, and questions that help you pick. (8 min)
• Changing careers and new stages of life — Big changes rarely happen in one leap. They happen through small experiments. (8 min)
