The	
  Cycle	
  of	
  Career	
  Change	
  	
  
“The principles you live by create the world you live in; if you change the
principles you live by you will change your world”
Blaine Lee
“Change comes more from managing the journey than from announcing the
destination”
William Bridges

With	
  Bev	
  Taylor	
  at	
  the	
  	
  	
  	
  

	
  
The	
  Cycle	
  of	
  Career	
  Change	
  
You	
  know	
  how	
  ‘the	
  learned’	
  put	
  o8en	
  put	
  together	
  lists	
  of:	
  The	
  Most	
  Stressful	
  
Life	
  Events’?	
  	
  
I	
  saw	
  one	
  recently	
  that	
  rated	
  “changing	
  careers”	
  as	
  less	
  stressful	
  than	
  -­‐	
  “sex	
  
difficul+es”	
  -­‐	
  and	
  about	
  as	
  stressful	
  as	
  “a	
  change	
  in	
  the	
  number	
  of	
  
arguments	
  with	
  spouse”	
  -­‐	
  and	
  “having	
  a	
  mortgage	
  over	
  £60,000.”	
  
BUT,	
  It’s	
  not	
  true!!!	
  	
  
Changing	
  careers	
  —	
  or	
  doing	
  anything	
  that	
  changes	
  your	
  very	
  idenKty,	
  your	
  
sense	
  of	
  who	
  you	
  are	
  —	
  is	
  unbelievably	
  stressful.	
  But	
  in	
  the	
  same	
  way	
  that	
  
recognising	
  that	
  almost	
  every	
  child	
  will	
  learn	
  to	
  walk	
  by	
  first	
  crawling,	
  then	
  
holding	
  onto	
  furniture	
  and	
  then	
  by	
  fall	
  a	
  lot	
  we	
  get	
  to	
  be	
  kind	
  to	
  ourselves	
  
by	
  recognising	
  that	
  there	
  	
  are	
  some	
  stages	
  to	
  making	
  changes.	
  	
  	
  
Knowing	
  how	
  change	
  happens	
  helps	
  us	
  get	
  back	
  up	
  every	
  Kme	
  we	
  fall	
  just	
  like	
  
our	
  precious	
  babies	
  do	
  when	
  they	
  are	
  learning	
  to	
  walk.

Understanding	
  Change	
  
I	
  was	
  talking	
  to	
  a	
  bright,	
  moKvated	
  career	
  woman	
  the	
  other	
  day	
  and	
  she	
  was	
  
nearly	
  in	
  tears	
  when	
  she	
  was	
  telling	
  me	
  how	
  difficult	
  it	
  had	
  been	
  for	
  her	
  to	
  
make	
  the	
  career	
  changes	
  she	
  has	
  dreamed	
  of.	
  	
  	
  
And,	
  she	
  feels	
  so	
  stuck	
  …	
  life	
  has	
  got	
  in	
  her	
  way	
  –	
  and	
  they	
  were	
  important	
  
things	
  –	
  not	
  just	
  ‘procrasKnaKon	
  type	
  of	
  things	
  either!	
  	
  	
  
I	
  so	
  wanted	
  her	
  to	
  understand	
  more	
  about	
  change	
  -­‐	
  I	
  wanted	
  her	
  to	
  know	
  
deep	
  down	
  inside	
  that	
  change	
  could	
  happen.	
  	
  I	
  knew	
  that	
  it	
  wouldn’t	
  take	
  
all	
  the	
  pain	
  and	
  frustraKon	
  away	
  but	
  I	
  wanted	
  her	
  to	
  know	
  about	
  the	
  four	
  
most	
  important	
  elements	
  in	
  changing	
  a	
  behavior.	
  	
  I	
  wanted	
  her	
  to	
  know	
  
because	
  aside	
  from	
  sympathy	
  and	
  understanding	
  –	
  Which	
  we	
  all	
  need	
  
from	
  Kme	
  to	
  Kme	
  –	
  knowing	
  that	
  struggling	
  with	
  change	
  is	
  a	
  human	
  
condiKon	
  –	
  o8en	
  helps	
  us	
  get	
  back	
  up	
  –	
  dust	
  ourselves	
  off	
  –	
  and	
  try	
  again!	
  
So	
  here	
  they	
  are	
  …	
  just	
  for	
  you:

Understanding	
  Change	
  
1.  We	
  need	
  to	
  be	
  ready	
  to	
  change	
  –	
  We	
  have	
  to	
  gather	
  together	
  the	
  
resources	
  and	
  knowledge	
  to	
  successfully	
  make	
  a	
  lasCng	
  change	
  
2.  We	
  have	
  to	
  work	
  on	
  our	
  innermost	
  personal	
  barriers	
  to	
  change	
  -­‐	
  Is	
  there	
  
anything	
  prevenCng	
  you	
  from	
  changing	
  –	
  are	
  you	
  willing	
  to	
  change?	
  
3.  We	
  do	
  need	
  to	
  expect	
  to	
  slip	
  up	
  –	
  it’s	
  in	
  the	
  slips	
  that	
  we	
  can	
  learn	
  our	
  
most	
  profound	
  lessons.	
  	
  PLUS	
  we	
  need	
  to	
  discover	
  what	
  might	
  trigger	
  a	
  
return	
  to	
  a	
  former	
  behavior	
  or	
  belief?	
  
4.  Most	
  change	
  takes	
  Cme.	
  	
  From	
  Cme	
  to	
  Cme	
  we	
  change	
  instantly.	
  	
  That	
  
kind	
  of	
  change	
  happens	
  to	
  individuals	
  on	
  only	
  around	
  20%	
  of	
  the	
  Cmes	
  
we	
  try	
  …	
  that	
  means	
  80%	
  of	
  the	
  Cme	
  …	
  it	
  takes	
  Cme!	
  
Most overnight successes were years in the making!

Understanding	
  Change	
  
How do YOU deal with the 80% of longer
term change?
There	
  are	
  two	
  simple,	
  but	
  courageous	
  ways	
  …	
  

UNDERSTAND	
  THE	
  NATURE	
  OF	
  CHANGE	
  	
  
&	
  
	
  BE	
  WILLING	
  TO	
  CHANGE	
  SOME	
  OF	
  YOUR	
  
PATTERNS!!!	
  
www.careerchangeacademy.co.uk	
  

5	
  
Understanding	
  Change	
  
And	
  how	
  do	
  YOU	
  do	
  that	
  …	
  one	
  way	
  is	
  to	
  get	
  to	
  know	
  the	
  Cycle	
  of	
  Career	
  
Change!	
  
One	
  of	
  the	
  best-­‐known	
  approaches	
  to	
  change	
  is	
  known	
  as	
  the	
  "Stages	
  of	
  
Change"	
  model,	
  which	
  was	
  introduced	
  in	
  the	
  late	
  1970's	
  by	
  researchers	
  
James	
  Prochaska	
  and	
  Carlo	
  DiClemente.	
  The	
  Stages	
  of	
  Change	
  Model	
  has	
  
been	
  found	
  to	
  be	
  a	
  consistently	
  effecKve	
  way	
  of	
  	
  understanding	
  how	
  the	
  
80%	
  people	
  make	
  changes.	
  
In	
  this	
  model,	
  you	
  will	
  find	
  that	
  when	
  you	
  are	
  on	
  the	
  80%	
  side	
  of	
  making	
  
change	
  …	
  then	
  for	
  change	
  to	
  occur,	
  it	
  will	
  be	
  happening	
  gradually	
  and	
  that	
  
slipping	
  back	
  is	
  normal	
  –	
  it’s	
  not	
  fun	
  but	
  it	
  happens	
  but	
  we	
  do	
  get	
  to	
  learn	
  
and	
  start	
  again.	
  	
  In	
  life,	
  one	
  of	
  our	
  tasks	
  is	
  to	
  learn	
  to	
  fail	
  well	
  and	
  it	
  is	
  no	
  
different	
  in	
  career	
  change!	
  	
  SORRY!!!!!	
  
THREFORE, BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF – YOU HAVE
LESSONS TO LEARN!

Understanding	
  Change	
  
The more you beat yourself up and don’t settle down
to learn the lessons … the longer it will take …
surrender to the lessons life is teaching you but
DON’T SURRENDER to failure!

Don’t	
  surrender	
  to	
  failure	
  …	
  but	
  do	
  this	
  instead	
  …	
  	
  
Get	
  to	
  know	
  where	
  you	
  are	
  on	
  the	
  Cycle	
  of	
  Career	
  change	
  and	
  begin	
  to	
  put	
  
things	
  in	
  place	
  so	
  that	
  you	
  can	
  cycle	
  around	
  and	
  make	
  the	
  career	
  change	
  
that	
  you	
  want.

The	
  Stages	
  of	
  the	
  Cycle	
  
Stage	
  1	
  –	
  Distancing	
  
During	
  this	
  stage,	
  one	
  of	
  two	
  things	
  happen:	
  	
  	
  
1)	
  Life	
  is	
  so	
  intense	
  and	
  complicated	
  that	
  you	
  cannot	
  contemplate	
  any	
  
change	
  –	
  even	
  though	
  the	
  job	
  you	
  are	
  doing	
  is	
  driving	
  you	
  crazy.	
  	
  At	
  this	
  
stage	
  the	
  ‘job’	
  has	
  security.	
  	
  	
  
Or	
  	
  
2)	
  You	
  don’t	
  see	
  that	
  changing	
  your	
  career	
  has	
  anything	
  to	
  do	
  with	
  helping	
  
you	
  find	
  your	
  desKny.	
  Others	
  may	
  tell	
  you	
  that	
  you	
  need	
  to	
  seriously	
  
think	
  about	
  changing	
  your	
  career.	
  	
  They	
  say	
  things	
  like:	
  You’re	
  wasted	
  
there.	
  	
  You	
  really	
  need	
  to	
  believe	
  in	
  yourself	
  more,	
  etc.	
  	
  All	
  this	
  means	
  
that	
  you	
  can	
  be	
  perfectly	
  miserable	
  but	
  you	
  are	
  also	
  perfectly	
  content	
  
to	
  stay	
  in	
  your	
  job	
  –	
  for	
  a	
  myriad	
  of	
  reasons.

The	
  Stages	
  of	
  the	
  Cycle	
  
Stage	
  2	
  -­‐	
  In	
  2	
  Minds	
  
Being	
  in	
  ‘2	
  Minds’	
  means	
  that	
  part	
  of	
  you	
  is	
  considering	
  making	
  a	
  career	
  
change	
  	
  in	
  a	
  few	
  months	
  –	
  or	
  a	
  year	
  -­‐	
  but	
  you	
  are	
  sKll	
  not	
  sure	
  –	
  it’s	
  a	
  
dream	
  really.	
  You	
  may	
  have	
  	
  a	
  few	
  niggles	
  –	
  your	
  friends	
  just	
  might	
  be	
  
right	
  .	
  	
  Or	
  life	
  has	
  senled	
  a	
  bit	
  and	
  you	
  start	
  to	
  intensely	
  feel	
  how	
  much	
  
you	
  want	
  out.	
  	
  	
  
The	
  problem	
  with	
  you	
  when	
  you	
  are	
  here	
  is	
  that	
  as	
  quick	
  as	
  the	
  ‘I	
  want	
  to	
  
change’	
  thought	
  comes	
  into	
  your	
  mind	
  another	
  thought	
  follows	
  quickly	
  
–	
  reminding	
  you	
  that	
  you	
  have	
  bills	
  to	
  pay	
  or	
  you	
  don’t	
  know	
  anything	
  
about	
  starKng	
  a	
  business	
  or	
  you	
  may	
  not	
  feel	
  that	
  you	
  can	
  possibly	
  take	
  
a	
  salary	
  cut.	
  	
  It’s	
  a	
  very	
  Kring	
  place	
  and	
  later	
  on	
  the	
  effects	
  of	
  being	
  in	
  
Stage	
  2	
  can	
  be	
  quite	
  demoralizing	
  –	
  this	
  is	
  when	
  our	
  memories	
  become	
  
very	
  elephant	
  like	
  –	
  we	
  never	
  forget	
  this	
  stage.	
  	
  Unless	
  we	
  develop	
  
techniques	
  to	
  deal	
  with	
  the	
  effects	
  of	
  it.	
  	
  	
  At any given point,
about 80% of us are in the first two stages of this
model! YIKES!!!!!

The	
  Stages	
  of	
  the	
  Cycle	
  
Stage	
  3	
  –	
  PreparaCon	
  
This	
  one	
  ‘does	
  what	
  it	
  says	
  on	
  the	
  Kn’	
  -­‐	
  a8er	
  you	
  decide	
  you	
  really	
  do	
  want	
  a	
  
career	
  change,	
  you	
  enter	
  the	
  PreparaKon	
  stage.	
  	
  	
  
At	
  this	
  stage	
  you	
  ‘get	
  it’	
  –	
  you	
  take	
  personal	
  responsibility	
  for	
  the	
  changes	
  
you	
  need	
  to	
  make.	
  	
  You	
  may	
  start	
  looking	
  around	
  for	
  new	
  work,	
  part	
  
Kme	
  work,	
  a	
  course	
  of	
  study	
  to	
  prepare	
  you	
  for	
  the	
  change	
  over,	
  you	
  
may	
  hire	
  a	
  coach	
  (or	
  join	
  a	
  Career	
  changing	
  program!).	
  	
  
And,	
  You	
  start	
  planning	
  to	
  take	
  acKon.	
  
This is either a really exciting stage or a bit daunting …
depending on how many times you’ve tried to make
the career change or depending on how many times it
feels like life has thrown you off track.
Either way, be mindful of getting your prep really right,
learn from past lessons, prepare for life etc. so you
don’t have to go round again!

The	
  Stages	
  of	
  the	
  Cycle	
  
Stage	
  4	
  –	
  AcCon	
  
In	
  this	
  stage	
  you	
  acKvely	
  pursue	
  the	
  change	
  you	
  want	
  to	
  make.	
  For	
  example,	
  
you	
  actually	
  start	
  a	
  course	
  or	
  you	
  start	
  working	
  part	
  Kme	
  or	
  you	
  begin	
  
your	
  dream	
  career	
  alongside	
  your	
  9-­‐5	
  job	
  –	
  or	
  gulp!	
  –	
  you	
  resign!	
  	
  	
  
This	
  stage	
  can	
  be	
  around	
  6	
  months	
  –	
  it	
  all	
  depends	
  on	
  what	
  you	
  are	
  trying	
  to	
  
accomplish.	
  	
  When	
  someone	
  is	
  in	
  this	
  stage,	
  others	
  can	
  observe	
  that	
  
they	
  are	
  making	
  an	
  effort	
  to	
  break	
  get	
  a	
  new	
  job	
  or	
  change	
  careers.	
  	
  
The	
  AcKon	
  stage	
  has	
  it’s	
  dangers.	
  	
  You	
  are	
  very

  and	
  you	
  can

  about	
  with	
  life’s	
  circumstances.	
  
Unfortunately,	
  only	
  about	
  20%	
  of	
  us	
  are	
  in	
  AcKon	
  at	
  any	
  given	
  Kme,	
  but	
  
most	
  programs

  help	
  us	
  lose

  change	
  
careers	
  assume	
  we	
  are	
  ALL	
  at	
  this	
  stage	
  of	
  change	
  and	
  they	
  actually	
  
also	
  believe	
  that	
  we	
  will	
  go	
  swi8ly	
  into	
  Maintenance	
  –	
  the	
  next	
  stage.	
  
SomeKmes	
  we	
  do	
  a	
  lot	
  of	
  ‘acKon’	
  but	
  not	
  a	
  lot	
  of	
  ‘internal	
  changing’	
  (that’s	
  
not	
  deliberate	
  –	
  it’s	
  just	
  our	
  learning	
  curve)	
  –	
  or	
  we	
  don’t	
  complete	
  all	
  
the	
  changes	
  we	
  need	
  to	
  make	
  in	
  our	
  acKon

  And	
  that	
  can	
  lead	
  to	
  
‘slipping

The	
  Stages	
  of	
  the	
  Cycle	
  
Stage	
  5	
  -­‐	
  Maintenance	
  
When	
  you	
  reach	
  maintenance,	
  you	
  have	
  done	
  amazingly	
  well!	
  	
  For	
  at	
  
least	
  6	
  months	
  you	
  have	
  made	
  the	
  changes.	
  	
  	
  
The	
  changes	
  that	
  you	
  have	
  made	
  are	
  internal	
  as	
  well	
  as	
  external.	
  	
  You	
  have	
  
successfully	
  changed	
  your	
  mindsets	
  and	
  you	
  think	
  of	
  yourself	
  as	
  an	
  
‘entrepreneur,	
  a	
  businesswoman,	
  an	
  expert	
  …	
  you	
  are	
  on	
  your	
  way	
  to	
  
success.	
  	
  It	
  takes	
  much	
  less	
  effort	
  to	
  remember	
  that	
  ‘you	
  know	
  
something	
  &	
  that	
  you	
  really	
  do	
  deserve	
  this	
  kind	
  of	
  life’!	
  Just	
  like	
  in	
  the	
  
acKon	
  stage	
  –	
  people	
  see	
  you	
  acKvely	
  gerng	
  out	
  there	
  and	
  achieving.	
  
Your	
  main	
  task	
  at	
  this	
  stage	
  is	
  to	
  prevent	
  yourself	
  from	
  slipping	
  (that’s	
  
stage	
  6!)	
  into	
  old	
  ways	
  of	
  thinking	
  and	
  bad	
  habits.	
  
Maintenance	
  has	
  it’s	
  dangers	
  too!	
  	
  Old	
  habits	
  can	
  come	
  back/life	
  gets	
  in	
  the	
  
way/we	
  feel	
  we	
  must	
  ‘slip’	
  into	
  old	
  ways	
  of	
  thinking	
  and	
  feeling	
  (I	
  don’t	
  
deserve	
  success	
  or	
  I	
  really	
  am	
  rubbish	
  at	
  this!)	
  …	
  work	
  on	
  mindsets	
  to	
  
avoid	
  slippage.

The	
  Stages	
  of	
  the	
  Cycle	
  
Stage	
  6	
  -­‐	
  Rooted	
  and	
  Grounded	
  
This	
  is	
  really	
  a	
  part	
  of	
  the	
  Maintenance	
  Stage	
  in	
  the	
  original	
  model	
  but	
  I	
  felt	
  
it	
  was	
  so	
  important	
  to	
  career	
  change	
  that	
  I	
  have	
  added	
  this	
  stage	
  to	
  
help	
  you	
  keep	
  focused	
  on	
  what	
  you	
  need	
  to	
  do	
  to	
  ensure	
  change.	
  
Rooted	
  and	
  Grounded	
  is	
  about	
  connecKng	
  with	
  yourself	
  and	
  learning	
  from	
  
your	
  mistakes,	
  it’s	
  about	
  being	
  kind	
  and	
  gentle	
  with	
  yourself,	
  it’s	
  about	
  
failing	
  well.	
  	
  It’s	
  also	
  about	
  keeping	
  up	
  mindfulness.	
  	
  This	
  is	
  the	
  
‘internal’	
  growth	
  part	
  of	
  your	
  journey.	
  	
  It	
  must	
  not	
  be	
  neglected!

Stage	
  7	
  -­‐	
  Slipping	
  Around	
  
It	
  happens!	
  It’s	
  normal!	
  It’s	
  frustraCng!	
  	
  But	
  only	
  if	
  you	
  let	
  it	
  be!	
  
	
  SomeCmes	
  we	
  stop	
  doing	
  what	
  works!	
  	
  SomeKmes	
  life	
  comes	
  up	
  and	
  hits	
  us	
  hard	
  and	
  we	
  go	
  back	
  to	
  
what	
  we	
  know	
  for	
  sure	
  –	
  what’s	
  safe!	
  	
  Slipping	
  around	
  people	
  are	
  feeling	
  preny	
  bad.	
  	
  They	
  just	
  
don’t	
  know	
  what	
  else	
  to	
  do.	
  	
  So,	
  they	
  end	
  up	
  losing	
  confidence	
  in	
  themselves	
  and	
  the	
  new	
  
business	
  or	
  the	
  new	
  life	
  they	
  want.	
  	
  	
  
SomeKmes	
  this	
  stage	
  is	
  experienced	
  more	
  internally	
  than	
  externally	
  –	
  i.e.	
  our	
  ‘Rooted	
  and	
  Grounded’	
  
self	
  just	
  loses	
  the	
  confidence	
  and	
  knowledge	
  that	
  it	
  was	
  learning	
  and	
  we	
  end	
  up	
  doubKng	
  
ourselves	
  and	
  our	
  desKnies.	
  	
  	
  
It	
  can	
  also	
  be	
  	
  characterized	
  by	
  behaviours	
  as	
  well.	
  	
  We	
  stop	
  keeping	
  our	
  books	
  up	
  to	
  date,	
  we	
  over	
  
work	
  ourselves,	
  we	
  are	
  reduced	
  to	
  tears	
  -­‐	
  it’s	
  o8en	
  seen	
  by	
  ourselves	
  as	
  ‘weakness’	
  –	
  and	
  some	
  
so	
  called	
  friends	
  and	
  some	
  members	
  of	
  our	
  family	
  like	
  to	
  point	
  and	
  say	
  –	
  see	
  I	
  told	
  you	
  so!	
  
SomeKmes	
  Stage	
  7	
  is	
  only	
  with	
  us	
  for	
  a	
  moment	
  ,	
  a	
  day,	
  or	
  maybe	
  longer.	
  	
  What	
  ever	
  you	
  do	
  in	
  this	
  
stage	
  don’t	
  give	
  up	
  and	
  do	
  remember	
  that	
  you	
  will	
  most	
  likely	
  be	
  cycling	
  around	
  an	
  emoKonal	
  
cycle	
  while	
  you	
  figure	
  it	
  all	
  out.	
  	
  	
  
You	
  may	
  even	
  shut	
  down	
  a	
  bit	
  …	
  doing	
  some	
  ‘distancing’	
  in	
  stage	
  1	
  of	
  the	
  cycle.	
  	
  Trust	
  me	
  it’s	
  ok.	
  	
  It	
  is	
  
only	
  a	
  stage	
  –	
  remember	
  your

  you	
  ground

  Be	
  gentle	
  with	
  yourself.

There	
  are	
  3	
  myths	
  about	
  change	
  
Myth	
  1:	
  Change	
  is	
  easy.	
  You	
  decide	
  to	
  change	
  and	
  then	
  you	
  "just	
  do	
  it."	
  
Fact:	
  Change	
  is	
  not	
  that	
  simple.	
  Most	
  of	
  us	
  will	
  "fail"	
  many	
  Cmes	
  before	
  we	
  
make	
  a	
  permanent	
  change	
  in	
  behaviour.	
  	
  
I	
  like	
  to	
  think	
  of	
  making	
  a	
  change	
  as	
  akin	
  to	
  climbing	
  a	
  mountain.	
  You	
  may	
  know	
  
where	
  you	
  want	
  to	
  go,	
  but	
  at	
  Kmes	
  you	
  can	
  slip	
  and	
  go	
  back	
  down	
  a	
  few	
  feet,	
  
or	
  even	
  fall	
  all	
  the	
  way	
  down	
  to	
  the	
  bonom!	
  Although	
  having	
  a	
  setback	
  can	
  
leave	
  you	
  feeling	
  like	
  a	
  "failure,"	
  it	
  is	
  important	
  to	
  realize	
  that	
  when	
  you	
  "fall,"	
  
you	
  never	
  go	
  all	
  the	
  way	
  back	
  to	
  the	
  beginning	
  because	
  you	
  have	
  gained	
  some	
  
experience	
  on	
  the	
  journey.	
  You	
  can	
  use	
  what	
  you	
  have	
  learned	
  to	
  increase	
  the	
  
odds	
  of	
  success	
  the	
  next	
  Kme.	
  	
  
DO	
  NOT	
  think	
  of	
  these	
  stages	
  as	
  being	
  a	
  one-­‐way	
  street	
  starKng	
  at	
  Distancing	
  and	
  
ending	
  with	
  Maintenance	
  and	
  Rooted	
  and	
  Grounded.	
  It	
  is	
  much	
  more	
  realisKc	
  
and	
  helpful	
  to	
  think	
  of	
  the	
  stages	
  as	
  being	
  more	
  like	
  a	
  spiral	
  staircase	
  where	
  
you	
  can	
  move	
  up,	
  but	
  you	
  can	
  also	
  come	
  back	
  to	
  a	
  place	
  you	
  have	
  been	
  
before.

There	
  are	
  3	
  myths	
  about	
  change	
  
Myth	
  2:	
  If	
  you	
  don't	
  make	
  a	
  change	
  the	
  first	
  Cme,	
  you	
  will	
  never	
  change.	
  
Fact:	
  At	
  any	
  given	
  point,	
  only	
  20%	
  of	
  us	
  are	
  able	
  to	
  make	
  a	
  permanent	
  
change	
  with	
  only	
  one	
  try.	
  	
  
Prochaska's	
  research	
  confirms	
  that	
  people	
  typically	
  go	
  through	
  the	
  stages	
  of	
  
change	
  several	
  Kmes	
  before	
  they	
  achieve	
  success.	
  	
  
Those	
  who	
  eventually	
  reach	
  their	
  goal	
  are	
  determined	
  and	
  don't	
  let	
  their	
  
"failures"	
  stop	
  them-­‐	
  they	
  learn	
  from	
  their	
  mistakes,	
  they	
  know	
  how	
  to	
  fail	
  
successfully	
  –	
  they	
  keep	
  themselves	
  rooted	
  and	
  grounded	
  in	
  the	
  middle	
  of	
  
turmoil!

There	
  are	
  3	
  myths	
  about	
  change	
  
Myth	
  3:	
  It	
  only	
  takes	
  willpower	
  to	
  make	
  change	
  happen.	
  If	
  I	
  can't	
  change	
  a	
  
habit,	
  it's	
  because	
  I'm	
  weak.	
  
Fact:	
  If	
  changing	
  habits	
  were	
  only	
  a	
  mafer	
  of	
  willpower,	
  we	
  would	
  all	
  be	
  
more	
  successful	
  at	
  making	
  changes	
  and	
  sCcking	
  to	
  them.	
  	
  
Making	
  changes	
  in	
  your	
  behaviour	
  is	
  more	
  about	
  being	
  smart	
  than	
  being	
  
strong.	
  If	
  you	
  are	
  going	
  to	
  anempt	
  to	
  make	
  a	
  change,	
  it	
  really	
  helps	
  to	
  
understand	
  what	
  you	
  are	
  up	
  against.	
  	
  
There	
  are	
  specific	
  things	
  you	
  can	
  do	
  at	
  each	
  stage	
  of	
  the	
  model	
  to	
  help	
  you	
  
move	
  through	
  the	
  process	
  of	
  change	
  much	
  faster.	
  For	
  example,	
  from	
  
research	
  it	
  is	
  known	
  that	
  in	
  order	
  for	
  a	
  person	
  to	
  move	
  from	
  
ContemplaKon	
  to	
  AcKon,	
  the	
  pros	
  of	
  making	
  a	
  change	
  MUST	
  outweigh	
  the	
  
cons	
  of	
  changing.	
  There	
  are	
  techniques	
  you	
  can	
  employ	
  to	
  help	
  shi8	
  that	
  
balance	
  in	
  favour	
  of	
  moving

Although	
  this

  is	
  in	
  the	
  shape	
  of	
  a

  Get

How you can help yourself"
•  Recognise that you are going to
feel ambivalent and make your
goals around understanding your
ambivalence"
•  Spend time ‘noticing what you do
want’ rather than what you don’t
want."
•  Just like in Distancing, reflect on
other ways of going forward
rather than doing the same things
over and over again."
•  Be curious about new ways of
getting there."
•  Practice simple Mindfulness
exercises "
How you can harm yourself"
•  Push yourself into making a
commitment. "
•  Go into problem solving mode."
•  Talk and talk and talk about it"
•  Don’t assume that just because
you are in the process of making
active decisions that your
ambivalence will disappear."

Cycle of career change

  • 1. The  Cycle  of  Career  Change     “The principles you live by create the world you live in; if you change the principles you live by you will change your world” Blaine Lee “Change comes more from managing the journey than from announcing the destination” William Bridges With  Bev  Taylor  at  the          
  • 2. The  Cycle  of  Career  Change   You  know  how  ‘the  learned’  put  o8en  put  together  lists  of:  The  Most  Stressful   Life  Events’?     I  saw  one  recently  that  rated  “changing  careers”  as  less  stressful  than  -­‐  “sex   difficul+es”  -­‐  and  about  as  stressful  as  “a  change  in  the  number  of   arguments  with  spouse”  -­‐  and  “having  a  mortgage  over  £60,000.”   BUT,  It’s  not  true!!!     Changing  careers  —  or  doing  anything  that  changes  your  very  idenKty,  your   sense  of  who  you  are  —  is  unbelievably  stressful.  But  in  the  same  way  that   recognising  that  almost  every  child  will  learn  to  walk  by  first  crawling,  then   holding  onto  furniture  and  then  by  fall  a  lot  we  get  to  be  kind  to  ourselves   by  recognising  that  there    are  some  stages  to  making  changes.       Knowing  how  change  happens  helps  us  get  back  up  every  Kme  we  fall  just  like   our  precious  babies  do  when  they  are  learning  to  walk.   www.careerchangeacademy.co.uk   2  
  • 3. Understanding  Change   I  was  talking  to  a  bright,  moKvated  career  woman  the  other  day  and  she  was   nearly  in  tears  when  she  was  telling  me  how  difficult  it  had  been  for  her  to   make  the  career  changes  she  has  dreamed  of.       And,  she  feels  so  stuck  …  life  has  got  in  her  way  –  and  they  were  important   things  –  not  just  ‘procrasKnaKon  type  of  things  either!       I  so  wanted  her  to  understand  more  about  change  -­‐  I  wanted  her  to  know   deep  down  inside  that  change  could  happen.    I  knew  that  it  wouldn’t  take   all  the  pain  and  frustraKon  away  but  I  wanted  her  to  know  about  the  four   most  important  elements  in  changing  a  behavior.    I  wanted  her  to  know   because  aside  from  sympathy  and  understanding  –  Which  we  all  need   from  Kme  to  Kme  –  knowing  that  struggling  with  change  is  a  human   condiKon  –  o8en  helps  us  get  back  up  –  dust  ourselves  off  –  and  try  again!   So  here  they  are  …  just  for  you:   www.careerchangeacademy.co.uk   3

Understanding  Change   1.  We  need  to  be  ready  to  change  –  We  have  to  gather  together  the   resources  and  knowledge  to  successfully  make  a  lasCng  change   2.  We  have  to  work  on  our  innermost  personal  barriers  to  change  -­‐  Is  there   anything  prevenCng  you  from  changing  –  are  you  willing  to  change?   3.  We  do  need  to  expect  to  slip  up  –  it’s  in  the  slips  that  we  can  learn  our   most  profound  lessons.    PLUS  we  need  to  discover  what  might  trigger  a   return  to  a  former  behavior  or  belief?   4.  Most  change  takes  Cme.    From  Cme  to  Cme  we  change  instantly.    That   kind  of  change  happens  to  individuals  on  only  around  20%  of  the  Cmes   we  try  …  that  means  80%  of  the  Cme  …  it  takes  Cme!   Most overnight successes were years in the making! www.careerchangeacademy.co.uk   4

  • 6. Understanding  Change   And  how  do  YOU  do  that  …  one  way  is  to  get  to  know  the  Cycle  of  Career   Change!   One  of  the  best-­‐known  approaches  to  change  is  known  as  the  "Stages  of   Change"  model,  which  was  introduced  in  the  late  1970's  by  researchers   James  Prochaska  and  Carlo  DiClemente.  The  Stages  of  Change  Model  has   been  found  to  be  a  consistently  effecKve  way  of    understanding  how  the   80%  people  make  changes.   In  this  model,  you  will  find  that  when  you  are  on  the  80%  side  of  making   change  …  then  for  change  to  occur,  it  will  be  happening  gradually  and  that   slipping  back  is  normal  –  it’s  not  fun  but  it  happens  but  we  do  get  to  learn   and  start  again.    In  life,  one  of  our  tasks  is  to  learn  to  fail  well  and  it  is  no   different  in  career  change!    SORRY!!!!!   THREFORE, BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF – YOU HAVE LESSONS TO LEARN! www.careerchangeacademy.co.uk   6

  • 11. The  Stages  of  the  Cycle   Stage  1  –  Distancing   During  this  stage,  one  of  two  things  happen:       1)  Life  is  so  intense  and  complicated  that  you  cannot  contemplate  any   change  –  even  though  the  job  you  are  doing  is  driving  you  crazy.    At  this   stage  the  ‘job’  has  security.       Or     2)  You  don’t  see  that  changing  your  career  has  anything  to  do  with  helping   you  find  your  desKny.  Others  may  tell  you  that  you  need  to  seriously   think  about  changing  your  career.    They  say  things  like:  You’re  wasted   there.    You  really  need  to  believe  in  yourself  more,  etc.    All  this  means   that  you  can  be  perfectly  miserable  but  you  are  also  perfectly  content   to  stay  in  your  job  –  for  a  myriad  of  reasons.   www.careerchangeacademy.co.uk   11  
  • 12. The  Stages  of  the  Cycle   Stage  2  -­‐  In  2  Minds   Being  in  ‘2  Minds’  means  that  part  of  you  is  considering  making  a  career   change    in  a  few  months  –  or  a  year  -­‐  but  you  are  sKll  not  sure  –  it’s  a   dream  really.  You  may  have    a  few  niggles  –  your  friends  just  might  be   right  .    Or  life  has  senled  a  bit  and  you  start  to  intensely  feel  how  much   you  want  out.       The  problem  with  you  when  you  are  here  is  that  as  quick  as  the  ‘I  want  to   change’  thought  comes  into  your  mind  another  thought  follows  quickly   –  reminding  you  that  you  have  bills  to  pay  or  you  don’t  know  anything   about  starKng  a  business  or  you  may  not  feel  that  you  can  possibly  take   a  salary  cut.    It’s  a  very  Kring  place  and  later  on  the  effects  of  being  in   Stage  2  can  be  quite  demoralizing  –  this  is  when  our  memories  become   very  elephant  like  –  we  never  forget  this  stage.    Unless  we  develop   techniques  to  deal  with  the  effects  of  it.      At any given point, about 80% of us are in the first two stages of this model! YIKES!!!!! www.careerchangeacademy.co.uk   12  
  • 13. The  Stages  of  the  Cycle   Stage  3  –  PreparaCon   This  one  ‘does  what  it  says  on  the  Kn’  -­‐  a8er  you  decide  you  really  do  want  a   career  change,  you  enter  the  PreparaKon  stage.       At  this  stage  you  ‘get  it’  –  you  take  personal  responsibility  for  the  changes   you  need  to  make.    You  may  start  looking  around  for  new  work,  part   Kme  work,  a  course  of  study  to  prepare  you  for  the  change  over,  you   may  hire  a  coach  (or  join  a  Career  changing  program!).     And,  You  start  planning  to  take  acKon.   This is either a really exciting stage or a bit daunting … depending on how many times you’ve tried to make the career change or depending on how many times it feels like life has thrown you off track. Either way, be mindful of getting your prep really right, learn from past lessons, prepare for life etc. so you don’t have to go round again! www.careerchangeacademy.co.uk   13  
  • 14. The  Stages  of  the  Cycle   Stage  4  –  AcCon   In  this  stage  you  acKvely  pursue  the  change  you  want  to  make.  For  example,   you  actually  start  a  course  or  you  start  working  part  Kme  or  you  begin   your  dream  career  alongside  your  9-­‐5  job  –  or  gulp!  –  you  resign!       This  stage  can  be  around  6  months  –  it  all  depends  on  what  you  are  trying  to   accomplish.    When  someone  is  in  this  stage,  others  can  observe  that   they  are  making  an  effort  to  break  get  a  new  job  or  change  careers.     The  AcKon  stage  has  it’s  dangers.    You  are  very  much  sKll  exploring  and   learning  and  you  can  be  blown  about  with  life’s  circumstances.   Unfortunately,  only  about  20%  of  us  are  in  AcKon  at  any  given  Kme,  but   most  programs  to  help  us  lose  weight  or  increase  exercise  or  change   careers  assume  we  are  ALL  at  this  stage  of  change  and  they  actually   also  believe  that  we  will  go  swi8ly  into  Maintenance  –  the  next  stage.   SomeKmes  we  do  a  lot  of  ‘acKon’  but  not  a  lot  of  ‘internal  changing’  (that’s   not  deliberate  –  it’s  just  our  learning  curve)  –  or  we  don’t  complete  all   the  changes  we  need  to  make  in  our  acKon  stage.    And  that  can  lead  to   ‘slipping  up’  and  starKng  the  cycle  again.   www.careerchangeacademy.co.uk   14  
  • 15. The  Stages  of  the  Cycle   Stage  5  -­‐  Maintenance   When  you  reach  maintenance,  you  have  done  amazingly  well!    For  at   least  6  months  you  have  made  the  changes.       The  changes  that  you  have  made  are  internal  as  well  as  external.    You  have   successfully  changed  your  mindsets  and  you  think  of  yourself  as  an   ‘entrepreneur,  a  businesswoman,  an  expert  …  you  are  on  your  way  to   success.    It  takes  much  less  effort  to  remember  that  ‘you  know   something  &  that  you  really  do  deserve  this  kind  of  life’!  Just  like  in  the   acKon  stage  –  people  see  you  acKvely  gerng  out  there  and  achieving.   Your  main  task  at  this  stage  is  to  prevent  yourself  from  slipping  (that’s   stage  6!)  into  old  ways  of  thinking  and  bad  habits.   Maintenance  has  it’s  dangers  too!    Old  habits  can  come  back/life  gets  in  the   way/we  feel  we  must  ‘slip’  into  old  ways  of  thinking  and  feeling  (I  don’t   deserve  success  or  I  really  am  rubbish  at  this!)  …  work  on  mindsets  to   avoid  slippage.   www.careerchangeacademy.co.uk   15  
  • 16. The  Stages  of  the  Cycle   Stage  6  -­‐  Rooted  and  Grounded   This  is  really  a  part  of  the  Maintenance  Stage  in  the  original  model  but  I  felt   it  was  so  important  to  career  change  that  I  have  added  this  stage  to   help  you  keep  focused  on  what  you  need  to  do  to  ensure  change.   Rooted  and  Grounded  is  about  connecKng  with  yourself  and  learning  from   your  mistakes,  it’s  about  being  kind  and  gentle  with  yourself,  it’s  about   failing  well.    It’s  also  about  keeping  up  mindfulness.    This  is  the   ‘internal’  growth  part  of  your  journey.    It  must  not  be  neglected!   “Respond; don't react. Listen; don't talk. Think; don't assume.”  Raji  Lukkoor   www.careerchangeacademy.co.uk   16  
  • 17. The  Stages  of  the  Cycle   Stage  7  -­‐  Slipping  Around   It  happens!  It’s  normal!  It’s  frustraCng!    But  only  if  you  let  it  be!    SomeCmes  we  stop  doing  what  works!    SomeKmes  life  comes  up  and  hits  us  hard  and  we  go  back  to   what  we  know  for  sure  –  what’s  safe!    Slipping  around  people  are  feeling  preny  bad.    They  just   don’t  know  what  else  to  do.    So,  they  end  up  losing  confidence  in  themselves  and  the  new   business  or  the  new  life  they  want.       SomeKmes  this  stage  is  experienced  more  internally  than  externally  –  i.e.  our  ‘Rooted  and  Grounded’   self  just  loses  the  confidence  and  knowledge  that  it  was  learning  and  we  end  up  doubKng   ourselves  and  our  desKnies.       It  can  also  be    characterized  by  behaviours  as  well.    We  stop  keeping  our  books  up  to  date,  we  over   work  ourselves,  we  are  reduced  to  tears  -­‐  it’s  o8en  seen  by  ourselves  as  ‘weakness’  –  and  some   so  called  friends  and  some  members  of  our  family  like  to  point  and  say  –  see  I  told  you  so!   SomeKmes  Stage  7  is  only  with  us  for  a  moment  ,  a  day,  or  maybe  longer.    What  ever  you  do  in  this   stage  don’t  give  up  and  do  remember  that  you  will  most  likely  be  cycling  around  an  emoKonal   cycle  while  you  figure  it  all  out.       You  may  even  shut  down  a  bit  …  doing  some  ‘distancing’  in  stage  1  of  the  cycle.    Trust  me  it’s  ok.    It  is   only  a  stage  –  remember  your  roots  and  how  you  ground  yourself.    Be  gentle  with  yourself.   www.careerchangeacademy.co.uk   17  
  • 18. There  are  3  myths  about  change   Myth  1:  Change  is  easy.  You  decide  to  change  and  then  you  "just  do  it."   Fact:  Change  is  not  that  simple.  Most  of  us  will  "fail"  many  Cmes  before  we   make  a  permanent  change  in  behaviour.     I  like  to  think  of  making  a  change  as  akin  to  climbing  a  mountain.  You  may  know   where  you  want  to  go,  but  at  Kmes  you  can  slip  and  go  back  down  a  few  feet,   or  even  fall  all  the  way  down  to  the  bonom!  Although  having  a  setback  can   leave  you  feeling  like  a  "failure,"  it  is  important  to  realize  that  when  you  "fall,"   you  never  go  all  the  way  back  to  the  beginning  because  you  have  gained  some   experience  on  the  journey.  You  can  use  what  you  have  learned  to  increase  the   odds  of  success  the  next  Kme.     DO  NOT  think  of  these  stages  as  being  a  one-­‐way  street  starKng  at  Distancing  and   ending  with  Maintenance  and  Rooted  and  Grounded.  It  is  much  more  realisKc   and  helpful  to  think  of  the  stages  as  being  more  like  a  spiral  staircase  where   you  can  move  up,  but  you  can  also  come  back  to  a  place  you  have  been   before.     www.careerchangeacademy.co.uk   18  
  • 19. There  are  3  myths  about  change   Myth  2:  If  you  don't  make  a  change  the  first  Cme,  you  will  never  change.   Fact:  At  any  given  point,  only  20%  of  us  are  able  to  make  a  permanent   change  with  only  one  try.     Prochaska's  research  confirms  that  people  typically  go  through  the  stages  of   change  several  Kmes  before  they  achieve  success.     Those  who  eventually  reach  their  goal  are  determined  and  don't  let  their   "failures"  stop  them-­‐  they  learn  from  their  mistakes,  they  know  how  to  fail   successfully  –  they  keep  themselves  rooted  and  grounded  in  the  middle  of   turmoil!   www.careerchangeacademy.co.uk   19  
  • 20. There  are  3  myths  about  change   Myth  3:  It  only  takes  willpower  to  make  change  happen.  If  I  can't  change  a   habit,  it's  because  I'm  weak.   Fact:  If  changing  habits  were  only  a  mafer  of  willpower,  we  would  all  be   more  successful  at  making  changes  and  sCcking  to  them.     Making  changes  in  your  behaviour  is  more  about  being  smart  than  being   strong.  If  you  are  going  to  anempt  to  make  a  change,  it  really  helps  to   understand  what  you  are  up  against.     There  are  specific  things  you  can  do  at  each  stage  of  the  model  to  help  you   move  through  the  process  of  change  much  faster.  For  example,  from   research  it  is  known  that  in  order  for  a  person  to  move  from   ContemplaKon  to  AcKon,  the  pros  of  making  a  change  MUST  outweigh  the   cons  of  changing.  There  are  techniques  you  can  employ  to  help  shi8  that   balance  in  favour  of  moving  into  AcKon .   www.careerchangeacademy.co.uk   20
