Fear of Change


Halloween!  A day we expect to be a little scary, frightening and spooky!  We’ll get over this potentially fearsome tradition…usually with an abundance of candy, costumes and parties!

However, you know what’s really scary for many people…the fear of change!

In reality, the fear of change is one of the most common reasons for resistance to change because it stops us from taking any action at all. The Fear of Change can hold you back – stop you from taking action and creating new opportunities, new beginnings and achieving personal and professional growth! And that’s really scary!

One of the effects when someone fears change is anxiety. Anxiety can make you resist change by stirring up fears of what is not known.  The anxiety underlying our fear of change leads to other more specific fears that support a resistance to change.  Here are some examples:

Fear of the Unknown                                                            Fear of Failure
Fear of Success                                                                     Fear of Loss
Fear of Upsetting Others                                                       Fear of Leaving a Comfort Zone

The fear of change that people hold can be an enormous barrier to organizational change and personal growth.  In the Communicating with HorsePower Program attendees learn that when they can understand their own and other people’s individual reactions – they can intervene and assist where they are at.  Encouraging involvement early in the change process and allowing people to be part of the process will lead to lower levels of resistance to change and higher acceptance and engagement in the change.

Managing Change, Reinvention and Balance is a key spoke in the Communicating with HorsePower Program!  Successful change management is defined by the ability of people to move towards, and accept, the vision of change!   
And with change….always come growth!

Happy Halloween and…..Stomp Out Fear with HorsePower!
