Dynamic Transitioning 2008

As I look out on the landscape of 2008 I see major transitions at every level of people's lives. On the political front, 2008 is all about transition and change. Both parties are touting change and representing their best efforts to affect that change.

It is exciting to think that a woman, an African American man, and a former POW are emerging as our choices. Each one of these people demonstrate 'dynamic transitioning' as you think about their careers. Hillary, Barack, McCain, all represent major change in the greater American consciousness as well as personal change and development.

I've had many calls over the past few weeks from friends and colleagues who are torn about their choices regarding who most represents their beliefs and values. Why? Because these transitional figures on the public stage represent many of the personal changes and transitions they are going through or have gone through. Your beliefs and values often go through an evolution over time and often those on the public stage do in fact reflect your inner journey.

I've also been in conversation with many who are going through personal transitions: A new job, a new baby, children going off to college, relocation to a new city or neighborhood...and we've talked about how the 7 points in Dynamic Transitioning can help in the process. Dynamic Transitioning looks at the fundamentals of your personal identity, vision, preparation, action, and giving back. We use the tools I've developed to transition with empowerment, rather than be a 'victim' of change.
