All Change Begins with Grief

Even change you’ve worked for, hoped for, planned for.

.. and change is usually good and always inevitable.

A coaching client of mine recently graduated from an MBA program and secured a top-notch job. But far from feeling on top of the world, he messaged to ask me why he felt so bad.

He was questioning himself. Had he soaked up all that college and grad school had to offer? Had he spent his time in New York wisely? Had he immersed himself in the city, living as a true ‘’New Yorker’’, or had he missed out on opportunities?

Head toward the pain…

Warning: This blog deals with sensitive issues around death.  

Death is something that, as a culture, we tend to run away from. That’s understandable. Part of being human is avoiding the things that cause us pain and distress. But sometimes, we need to head toward the pain.

It’s become a predictable but all too common phenomenon: A beloved celebrity dies, and the social media blame games begin. As news of a celebrity death spreads across our screens, most people act, well, as decent human beings.

We experience the shared grief and sadness at a life lost too soon or celebrate a long life lived well. As the comments, tweets and remembrances roll in, most people express sadness, kindness, and loss with respect.
