People react in surprisingly different ways - to proven changes - introduced to advance their lives and workplace. How do you respond?
Here are typical reactions to change I’ve observed in over thirty years as change agent for brain based approaches: 
1. Cynics say … “I can’t do it”… Cynics often lack smart skills to do different processes and they respond with a tone of contempt, aggression, or jaded humor.
2. Pessimists say … “It can’t be done”… They add cortisol to the entire circle, in ways that hold back growth and stall progress.
3. Complacent people say … “There’s no time for make changes when we barely have time to do all we do here already. Cling to time-worn traditions and this group’s happy.
4. Critics say… “It’s far from perfect” …. This cranky group nitpick changes introduced … yet they rarely see solutions to any problems they criticize.
5. Perfectionists say … Its standards lack what most perfect models have added so let’s put it off and study an expert’s superiors works instead.
6. People pleasers say … “It’s a great idea…” a mere meta-message they speak to mean in reality … it stinks and I won’t support it.”
7. Trouble makers say … We’ll fight for changes we want, because there’s no agreement when it comes to offers we’d accept.
8. Comedians say … By all means … stick a neuron in your head … but for the sake of sanity at work … laugh.
9. The curious ask … “What can we expect?” Armed with serotonin confidence the curious are most likely to start with compelling questions… and end with dendrites for a competitive edge.
