Work on a new initiative with a local community or professional organization.

Try new approaches to break out of routines (e.g., stress reduction) and develop three possible ways to mitigate it during work hours.

Think of a time in another job when you were resistant to change. Think of as many reasons as possible why you were resistant. Did those reasons come to fruition? If not, what did you learn?

Share your expertise with a community or non-profit organization about to embark on a change, such as on a capital campaign.

Reflect on a major change in your life. Write or talk about what helped you successfully move through the change.

Join a university-wide initiative that will bring major change to your division.

Follow through on tasks assigned to you that are associated with a change.

Demonstrate your understanding of a change initiative underway in your group by explaining it to a new employee or intern. Offer background information to provide context.

Ask your supervisor to clarify any uncertainty you have about a prospective change (e.g., office move, redefining roles). Demonstrate your acceptance and support of the endeavor by offering to help in some way.
