Deep breath. I'm being asked by leaders of organisations and practitioners alike - what do we do about our in-flight change programs at the moment?
1st Question - Is this change necessary at this point in time?
If no. Hold it.
If yes...
2nd Question - What is the most compassionate way to introduce / bring in this change?
3rd Question - how are you adjusting the ration of stability messaging to change messaging?
People will see every change at the moment as a threat to survival. Make sure you are amplifying what is staying the same.

Busting Silos e-course
Trust is the currency of change and collaboration.
If you want to break down organisational silos to create better and faster change, then you need to build a team that is trustworthy and a team that trusts you.

Some changes around here!
Wowee. What a month it has been since I last dropped in. I really hope you are all doing ok, that you're breathing well and staying active and hydrated.
I wanted to let you know about a couple of changes I've made in the month in response to COVID-19.
Podcast changes
I've moved my podcast to a weekly cadence and I'm flying solo. Each week on a Tuesday I come to you with some thoughts / information relating to positive psychology, resilience, change and self-compassion as a way of providing additional support. They're short, they're pretty rough, and hopefully they are helpful. This week I talked about the four possible paths of organisational change out of this: Re-invent, Re-integrate, Renew, and Revolt. Listen where-ever you get your podcasts!
Introducing Dr Jen Frahm Unfiltered on Patreon!
I've also created a patreon account. Patreon is a platform where you can sponsor / be a patron of content creators. I have four tiers available starting at $2 USD a month with varying rewards such as patron only webinars, individual coaching sessions.
The content that I share on Patreon will be largely "Dr Jen Frahm Unfiltered" - my musings, thoughts in progress, the background to posts, advance content that is shared elsewhere, templates ... to be honest its a new thing for me, and largely experimental. Your feedback is welcome.
As a small business, the advice I am getting at the moment is to cut expenses. Because of the work I do, my expenses are largely other small business, and I'd rather not do that! If you find the content I share really valuable and you are in position to be a patron I would be grateful.
