During a change there will be a period where we feel "frozen" or "locked up"; for a while we are almost in a state of shock, unable or unwilling to make decisions. In a change like having a new job we may just want to be - to sit at our desk or just be around work colleagues. This would be a time to consider past successes. It might be useful to spend some time pampering ourselves doing things where we can just be. It is useful to plan ways to look after yourself.

3. Introduction
• For a long time now it has been
recognised that during any
change people go through certain
stages.
• These stages, as they progress
over time, change the way we are
seen by others and how we feel
about ourselves.

4. Introduction
• These stages can be plotted on
a graph known as the Change
or Competence Curve.
• Julie Hay matched stages in
the competence curve against
stages in the developmental
cycle (Hay 1992).

Stage 1
• Stage : Being.
• Competence : Immobilization
• Activity - During a change there will
be a period where we feel "frozen"
or "locked up"; for a while we are
almost in a state of shock, unable
or unwilling to make decisions. In a
change like having a new job we
may just want to be - to sit at our
desk or just be around work
colleagues. This would be a time to
consider past successes. It might
be useful to spend some time
pampering ourselves doing things
where we can just be. It is useful to
plan ways to look after yourself.
