You know you’re Change Challenged when…

1. You clutch the handle bar – on roller coasters, taxis, and escalators.
2. If others don’t agree with you – you secretly fill the sugar bowl with salt.
3. You can find the bad news in everything from the economy to chocolate Santas.
4. You like to point out that “Silver linings are just optical illusions”.
5. If someone says something you don’t like – you wink and say “Thanks for sharing.”
6. You like to catch people doing things wrong and then post it on the company intranet.
7. If someone asks “What’s good?” you reply “The fact that one day we’ll all be dead.”
8. Your co-workers secretly refer to you as “The Beacon of Doom.”

You know you’re a Change Artist when...

1. You think of 6 impossible things before breakfast.
2. You keep exploring underlying needs and brainstorming creatively until you find a solution that serves everyone involved.
3. You laugh like there’s no tomorrow while riding the roller coaster of life hands free.
4. You choose your attitude whenever and however best serves all concerned.
5. You hear out a wide range of ideas before passing judgment on an important issue.
6. When someone shares a point of view you don’t agree with you say “Tell me more about that?” or “What’s important to you about that?”
7. You regularly focus on “What’s Good” and outwardly acknowledge people, projects and circumstances.
8. You flow like water over your obstacles until you triumphantly arrive home.

  1. 29. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
