What is change

• to exchange one thing for another thing, especially of a similar type
• To make or become different

• Change is situational: the new site, the new boss, the new team roles, the new policy, the new process…

Change is difficult for most people. They like what they have grown accustomed to and prefer to stay in their “comfort zone” They detest being stretched beyond the limit of their comfort zone. Some are pushed outside their comfort zone by other people or circumstances, while others intentionally push themselves outside of their own comfort zone to enable them grow and develop personally.
