My relationship with Change and the Change Formula
Last night at dinner with a friend, we were chatting about navigating change, and I shared that in a way that has been a theme of my life. I immigrated to the US when I was 7 years old and entered the end of 1st grade in a foreign country with a language I didn't know. We moved again for middle school, and then I skipped 8th grade jumping straight from 7th grade to high school (that was an awkward one..) In my professional life, I have lived through working at Lehman Brothers during the financial crisis and several mergers at RBS and, of course, leaving Wall Street to start my Executive coaching company 8+ years ago. I feel like having kids was a huge change for me, but let's be honest, I am not alone in that, so we can skip that part. Anyway, the story is that Helen has done "change" in some form or another and not always by choice since the age of 7.
