The small things in life make a difference. Small interventions are powerful. Simple changes in behaviour, questions e.g. how do you feel?, share stories, recognition, 3rd party talks… you name it they all add up.
Sometimes we expect when we want something to change, it should happen instantly. Thats not always the case so be prepared to let many interventions all add up into a change.

Its not easy to orchestrate but by believing that many small things can make a difference is a start. The intent will mean you change what you do that others will then be impacted by.

Example. We want the organisation to accept a faster more agile way of working so up front you try and tell them. That does not work because people need to buy into it, understand the impact to themselves as well as to the outcome.

– Showed examples of where it did work
– Asked open questions to understand current thinking
– Got options out onto the table and compared and evaluated
– Conducted learning sessions
– Listened to concerns and ideas
– Asked individuals to find different solutions to the problem
– Short but frequent sessions to enable reflection

Slowly they all add up and the change happens….
