Ingredient 1 - Laying a Foundation for New Ways
(handling "endings" and "beginnings")
Includes
. Building-on (not burying) the past and starting anew by
- breaking the ice
- unloading old baggage
- understanding why change is necessary
. Changing inappropriate behaviours
. Building the right relationships and self-awareness
. Starting to achieve the emotional buy-in/ownership
. Encouraging "reflectiveness", ie adopt a helicopter approach
Some interesting thoughts on endings and beginnings
Janus = the Roman god of endings and beginnings (exits/entrances)
Janus (gatekeeper) = a 2-faced man, looking forward and backward at the same time
January = the end of the old year and the beginning of the new one
