The Frustration of Change

In this episode, Des Penny delves into the intriguing topic of “The Frustration of Change,” uncovering the reasons behind his frustrations and the untapped potential of embracing change.

Contrary to the title, Des is not against change; instead, he expresses his frustration with how many individuals and organisations approach it, often missing out on its transformative benefits. Throughout the episode, he emphasises the inevitability of change and the importance of choosing to be a part of it rather than resisting it.

Des candidly outlines five sources of frustration that drive his passion for this subject. First and foremost, he laments the missed opportunities of growth and success that both individuals and organisations could achieve if they only embraced change for the right reasons, rather than taking the path of least resistance.

Des introduces three change models that he personally created to navigate and embrace change effectively. The first model, the ‘Thought Change Model,’ encourages listeners to reframe their approach to change. Rather than focusing solely on external factors, Des proposes that understanding the internal motivations and reasons for change is paramount. This shift in mindset empowers individuals to take the necessary steps towards successful and fulfilling change.
