Podcast interview: Why We Fear Change and How to Handle It

I am one of the podcast hosts for the Jewellers Academy podcast and I will share episodes that are relevant to all businesses here in the blog.

This week, I was in conversation with Kirsty Maynor. Kirsty Maynor is the Founder and CEO of The Firefly Group. She is a certified coach and leadership expert with decades of experience and the best-selling author of "Untangled, a practical and inspirational guide to change we choose and change we don't'

This was a great conversation. Kirsty is so knowledgeable and it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to speak with her about this topic.

You can listen to the episode on the player below. Alternatively, find episode 212 of the Jewellers Academy podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google and Spotify.

In this conversation, we talk all about change, including why we may feel threatened by change, even positive change. We also talk about the change skills to develop to help you navigate your life.

We cover:

• What do we mean by change? 

• Why does change, even good changes, often feel threatening/bad? What emotions can come up?

  The change skills:

• Becoming friends with vulnerability

• Discover your courage

• Finding your purpose

• Honouring your values

• Practicing self care

• Living with self compassion
