What is the value of doing this assignment?Major change is an inevitable part of personal and professional lives—both changes that aren’t desired and those that we actively make. For example, you may unexpectedly find yourself apartment shopping because your landlord has, once again, raised your rent. Or perhaps you have decided to find a new job that will help you develop the skills needed for a promotion.When we have our lives ordered and planned, change can seem like a problem. Like any problem, dealing with change requires a solution. An important part of coming to a solution is understanding your personal philosophy of change. A philosophy of change is how you react to, frame, and manage change. In this assignment, you’ll examine how you personally deal with large changes in your life.You will use your problem solving skill to analyze how you frame the problems associated with change and find evidence-based solutions to manage them. You will apply this philosophy to your experience with the 10 Skills in your next and final assignment. Additionally, this assignment gives you the opportunity to think deeply about your agility skill and how you can practice agility effectively in different contexts. It will also allow you to practice your innovation skill in exploring new ways of thinking and integrating different ideas and experiences to think about how you approach change.
Your goal for this assignment is to: Use your problem solving skill to create a personal philosophy of change that you could apply to managing change in your personal and professional life.
