How to Deal with Resistance to Change | Heather Stagl | TEDxGeorgiaStateU?

Change can be like switching from your favorite juice to a new one, it takes time to get used to the taste.

Imagine you're playing with your toys, and everything is just right. Suddenly, someone says, "Let's try something new!" That’s resistance to change, it's when people don’t want to leave what they know and love.

Sometimes, people are like little kids who love their bedtime story. If you switch the story, they might say, "I want my old one!" That’s because they feel safe with what they know. Resistance happens when change feels scary or uncertain, it's like not knowing if the new juice will be sweet or sour.

Heather Stagl says we can help people get used to change by being patient and kind, just like a parent who lets their child try a little of the new juice. If you take things slowly, give praise when they try something new, and make it fun, soon enough, they'll love the new flavor too!
