What is the first word that comes to mind when you think of change management...? Everyone reading this blog probably has a different word in mind, and that's a good thing because change management doesn't have to be specified with one word either. Change management is about adapting to the situation. It may be that today's problem will be different tomorrow, the situation has changed and so you also have to change your approach. It is therefore important that you continue to change because everything and everyone around you does this too.

Every day you change a little, you may think that today was almost the same as yesterday, but every day you learn again. For example, you have met new customers and if all goes well you have had a conversation with these new customers. These conversations alone change you a little, you may not be aware of this, but let's go back in time.

Back in time

You have your very first working day at a company, you are driven and motivated to get the most out of your new job. Your first assignment is to start a conversation with a new potential customer. How did you feel? You were probably confident but still quite nervous…
You want to do the first assignment well to show what you can do, whether it concerns meeting a new customer or working on a project at the computer. It is human that you feel a natural tension and that you want to look good. You probably found the first few weeks very educational.

A year later you have to meet new potential customers again. Due to the much experience you have gained over the past year, the tension is gone and you know what to do. You have (unconsciously) learned a lot over the past year, and you no longer see meeting new customers as exciting and educational, but as part of the job. You think less about the fact that you are learning than in the beginning. You have now unconsciously become skilled at what you do. It is therefore very important that you are aware that you change every day.

Everything and everyone changes

As you read above, you change a little every day, even if you are not always aware of this. If you look at the contrast of your first working week compared to last year, you will definitely see a big change. Now that you realize that you are changing something every day, it is important to realize that companies and people around you also change.

If you visit a company every day you will grow along with the change, but if you have not been to a company for a year and you suddenly visit it, it is important that you realize that anything could have changed. . You must be able to respond to these possible changes, you must be able to adapt yourself to this new situation, if you do not do this you will not make any progress.
