#099 – How to Prepare for Change When You Don’t Know What Change is Coming with Jim Frawley

Change is an inescapable aspect of our lives. It often happens faster than we are able to adapt. One of the challenges we face during change is the fear of being left behind. This can happen if we aren’t able to fully adapt to the changes surrounding us.

And let’s face it. With the current economic climate, adaptability is key to businesses survival.

According to Jim Frawley, Founder of Bellwether, by tapping into our beliefs and the traits that make us each uniquely human, we can ensure we are not left behind is. Armed with a deep connection to ourselves, we become more adaptable to change without even needing to fully understand every aspect of the changes we need to adapt to.

On this episode of The Workplace Communication Podcast, we talk with Jim about how employers can prepare for an economic downturn and communicate effectively with employees through challenging times.
