Westie Meeting Friday, March 25 4-8 pm
PAST FUTURE Change Curve Transition… is the psychological reorientation that people go through as they come to terms with events of a new situation. Commitment Shock Denial Acceptance MORALE Fear Exploration Resistance Understanding * Based on the work of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
Visible/Invisible Resistance What is often interpreted as signs of resistance to change often are indirect expressions of common emotional reactions to transition periods. • RESISTANCE • Skepticism • Non-acceptance • Defensiveness • Inaction Visible Level • Anxiety • Fear • Confusion • Frustration • Sadness • Helplessness • Anger Invisible Level

Personal Leadership History • Write about some key moments or events in your development as a leader. • What experiences stand out for you? High points? Low points? • Were there times when your leadership in a situation made you feel like an insider? An outsider? • What/ who has supported your development as a leader? What/ who has hindered it?
Structured Pair Share • Share some highlights of your leadership history with a partner. Make sure that each of you has had an opportunity to tell your story uninterrupted before you respond to what you’ve heard. • Shhh! LISTEN. • Once both people have had a chance to share, discuss what you learned about each other: What were some commonalities? What were some surprises?
Dinner! Sit with a couple of people who know you so you can work on your SIAC Worksheets (we will explain!)
