Is your company enthusiastic about your organizational change? Change isn’t easy for employees or leaders. In fact, most companies are not successful in their goals. According to Gartner, over “half of change initiatives fail and only 34% are a clear success.” And the consulting firm BCG believes that “75% of transformation efforts don’t deliver the hoped-for results.” So how can your company be one of the organizations that succeed?

One of the main problems with transformational change is the buy-in from employees. How do you get employees excited about change? Cassandra Worthy—one of the best motivational keynote speakers for change and bestselling author of Change Enthusiasm—has a teachable three-step system for success for your company.

Cassandra’s Story

Early in her career, Cassandra’s company went through a 5 billion dollar acquisition where she felt discouraged and almost quit. Had she left, she would have just been another African-American female who left the STEM industry. Instead of leaving, she woke up and realized change was actually an opportunity. From there, she developed a strategy for people to get excited about change. Here is her three-step system.

Step 1: Recognize Your Change Signals

The first step in getting enthusiastic about change is to realize you’re initially not enthusiastic about change. Cassandra says during company transformations, employees are often bombarded with high-priority messages. Sometimes these messages are conflicting or unclear. The result is employees (and leaders) feel fear, anger, and anxiety. The first step is to recognize these feelings are your change signals.

Step 2: See Change As An Opportunity

The next step in becoming enthusiastic is to transform your feelings into a “conscious mindset of opportunity.” Cassandra shows audiences how to stop viewing all those feelings as negative and instead see these emotions as “change-accelerating behaviors.” For example, when you’re anxious your body undergoes the same feelings as it does for excitement. One way to become more enthusiastic is to reframe your anxiety as excitement.

Step 3: Choose Your Better

The final step in the process for becoming enthusiastic is to ‘uncover your unique signature of resilience’ for change. Cassandra says this happens when people intentionally shift how they feel, see and act during change events. For example, when you stop viewing change as something that happens to you and instead as something that happens for you, you will be more resilient and find the opportunity in the challenge.
