The Change Wheel

The Change Wheel summarizes various stages of experience that we all have when Change happens. The strength of each stage is affected by whether we choose the change or unexpected and / or undesired change happens to us.

In practice, we don’t neatly move through each stage… it’s more like the wheel rocks backwards and forwards as we seek to manage our feelings and deal with the change. Healing does not mean that we forget. “Closure” does not mean that scars go away… it is more like we expand and encompass the loss….hopefully we are able to move forward with some deeper wisdom.

Groups, communities and organisations similarly experience such reactions to change and transitions.
