Discussion

Discussion Question #1.  In Chapter 4: you read about Individual Readiness for Change.  Specifically, you read Individual Readiness for change is a predisposition, perhaps even impatience, to welcome and embrace change.  While that statement reads well, I believe it is more difficult in practice then the text seems to imply.  Identify a personal change that you would like to try.  Thinking of your example, apply the 5 beliefs that underpin your personal change readiness these 5 are found on page 122.  Offer to the class your self-assessment as to each of the 5 beliefs and, if your readiness to change is low, what you can do to increase your level of readiness for that change.
