Outline for session
• What is change?
• Why do people avoid change?
• Why can change be difficult?
• Emotional Intelligence (EQ/EI)
• What helps us through change?
• Questionnaire
Open Question:
What is your definition of Change?
What is change?

Any kind of modification or
transition that happens in
our life, work or
environment.
What is change?
Whenever something happens in
our personal world that is

inconsistent with the way we feel
the world should be.
 Adapting to change-Emotional Intelligence
Why do people avoid change?
Change can cause:
• A sense of loss
• Fear
Also ...
• It requires you to compromise.
• It demands of you commitment and effort.
• It takes up energy which you would rather not
use.
Why can change be difficult?
1. Our brains expect certain things to
stay the same.
2. We seek out People like us to
avoid change.
3. We don’t like to feel that we have
wasted our Time and Effort.
Our brains expect certain things to
stay the same.
• In theory, change should be
simple.
• We run into a
roadblock, suddenly
information we trusted has
broken down.
• What we don't know tends
to scare us.
• Therefore change creates a
lot of things we don't know.
•

We seek out People like us to avoid
change
New information troubles our

brains.
•

We find friends and form groups
that support our beliefs.

•

When many people agree it’s
easy to discount the opinions of
others.

•

Therefore it is easier to avoid
change .
We don’t like to feel we have wasted
our Time and Effort.
•

Change can involve a significant loss -our
brains dislikes loss.

•

When we invest ourselves emotionally in
anything -harder to change.

•

For e.g. Letting go of a relationship we know
deep down will fail.

•

Time is never wasted but our brains like to
see the entire time as a loss rather than just a
part of the inevitable conclusion.
Why can change be difficult?
• Continuum between “positive” and “negative”.

• So not all change can be coded as good or bad.
• Negative changes can yield positive results
• Important factors such as Emotional Intelligence (EQ) need
to be considered.
• EQ determines how a person conceptualises their

experience of change .
Emotional Intelligence

The ability to
sense, understand and
effectively apply the
power of emotions.

Emotional Intelligence
IQ VS EQ
• With a high IQ
– You get hired
– You get promoted

– You do your daily school routine

• But with a high EQ
– You can thrive during times of CHANGE
 Adapting to change-Emotional Intelligence
What does EQ have to do with
change?
• It’s not what happens that matters but how
you respond to it.
• EQ gives you the ability to distinguish.
• Being aware of your responses means you
can make changes that benefit you.
• EQ is your scaffolding that supports your
responses to change.
What helps us through Change?
• Whether it is:
– Moving to a new area
– Starting university
– The death of a relative
– Re-sitting your exams
– Coming into a new and
unfamiliar environment
– Breaking up with your partner
....
What helps us through Change?
It will involve you:

• Being flexible
• Believing in your self worth

• Having a plan and keeping focussed
• Asking for help

• Having an open mind to face new challenges
What helps us through Change?
How to develop your Emotional Intelligence.
1. Reduce stress in the
moment.
2. Use emotional awareness to

deal with issues (such as
relationships).
3. Nonverbal communication.
4. Resolve conflict positively.
 Adapting to change-Emotional Intelligence
If you are not riding the wave of
change you’ll find yourself beneath it.
A bend in a road is not the end of the
road..unless you fail to make the turn.

Thank you
