How to Encourage Clients to Embrace Change

Many of us struggle with change, especially when it’s imposed upon us rather than chosen.
Yet despite its inevitability, without it, there would be no development, growth, innovation, or creativity.
The American statesman Benjamin Franklin once said:
‘in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.’
Sparks, 1856, p. 410
Yet if everything else is uncertain, then change is our constant companion in life (Zebian, 2024).
It is only when we embrace change that we remain open to new possibilities for growth, creativity, and innovation.
