Thresholds of Change: The Way through Transformational Times - Paperback

by Rebecca Borland Reynolds (Author)

Forever change the way you change...

Who hasn't struggled with change? Whether in our personal lives, at work, or in relation to global change, we've all known its related dread, confusion, and loss. In today's rapidly changing environment, we all can get better at facing change.

Instead of approaching change from whether we like it or want it, Thresholds of Change suggests looking for what change wants from us. Like the seasons, change is a distinct process with its own phases and sequence. Thresholds of Change offers a clear picture of how change works-the mechanics that operate no matter where change happens or how we react to it. This underlying process can be learned and with it, your innate ability to change increases.

Through a three-decade career working with change across discipline and place, Rebecca Borland Reynolds developed the Thresholds model of this universal change process. To demonstrate the model's versatility, the book speaks to a wide range of change scenarios: personal life transitions, leading change in groups, and major world change. No matter where it's taking place, who is involved or where, or what the reaction is, change can be far easier and vastly more productive. In seeing the process, you're able to work with it much more effectively. And you're able to use the changes in your life as they're intended: the way to reach your full human potential.

The Thresholds of Change model comprises four distinct phases, each with a unique purpose in the overall change process. With the model, people can easily navigate change, align with it as it unfolds, and ultimately reap greater results in learning and growth from the changes they undergo. Exploring such topics as how to resolve challenging emotions, cope with loss and grief, transform "should" and "can't," and amplify its benefits, Reynolds shows us a new way through change.
