In this 3-part series from CompTIA’s Advancing Women in Technology Community (AWIT), Executive Council chair Cristina Greysman and change and culture expert Dianne Kipp talk about the ways disruption affects both our personal lives and our careers, and how we survive and thrive in a disruptive environment.
“Change is the new constant and the velocity it’s coming at us is so overwhelming,” says Kipp.
When you are going through change, whether it’s a new software, a new team or a new house, give yourself time to adjust. Kipp reviews the stages of change, from a psychological perspective, as well as how to lead effectively during these turbulent times.
“You’ve got to give yourself permission to take the time to take care of yourself, and to build resilience, while being available to help your team adjust as well,” Kipp says.
