Change is Fundamental to the Human Experience

CPL is thrilled to welcome longtime friend, and colleague Gisela Wendling. Gisela is a thought leader in the fields of change, change behaviors, and liminality.

Change confidence is not the absence of fear or doubt. It is the ability to stay in relationship with what’s unfolding, even when clarity is incomplete.

It is the capacity to stay present, grounded and aligned even when outcomes are unknown. This is not confidence based on having all the answers, but on being in a generative relationship with uncertainty.

In her latest blog post, Gisela discusses the meaning of change confidence and outline the four competency areas that work together to strengthen your capacity to engage uncertainty to support positive transformation.

“At the center of my research and organization consulting practice is working with change. I focus on collaboratively engaging people to tap into their intelligence, energy, and capabilities as they move through the phases of a change process. As CEO of The Grove Consultants International, my team and I work across all levels of systems, from coaching individual leaders and their teams to partnering with clients to co-designing and guiding whole-systems change.”

Whether you’re leading a team, facilitating transformation or navigating a personal transition, true change confidence allows you to trust your capacity to meet the moment and respond to what is emerging.

Who is this for?

  • Those who consider leading as a sacred practice

  • Change practitioners and leaders who are interested in exploring the inner and outer practices and learnings necessary to navigate the rapid transformation and change of these times.
