The All Aboard Newsletter

Welcome to the third weekly edition of All Aboard’s weekly tips.

Today we’re going to talk about the ways (and ways not) to implement change in your business.

My prediction is that change is going to continue to be a constant in the insurance industry.

Might as well get better at implementing change with our teams right?

4 Steps to Implement Change

Pro-Tip → If you’re short on time, listening to videos on 1.2x speed is a great way to get through audiobooks, podcasts, and videos 20% faster without losing much retention of information!

For the best experience and most information, I highly suggest you click the video! But, if you’re in a rush, here is a rough summary for implementing change:

1.) Identify and explain the problem.

2.) Set the stage for the story you need to tell.

3.) Avoid pitfalls common in “bad” change.

4.) Keep the focus!

It sounds so basic…. and it is!!

Then why do we all bungle changes in our business so often?

Because change is hard. It will always be hard.

So, get used to it and get comfortable doing hard things.

In the meantime, here are a few tips:

• Be honest. Don’t insult people’s intelligence by spinning whats going on.

• Constant change = constant emotion. Choose your cadence carefully.

• Get people’s opinion - If it effects them, you’ll get way more buy-in if they help shape the change!

• Once you'r change is complete, check-in often to make sure the plan is on track.

So there it is.

My advice for making changes in a way that doesn’t crush morale or introduce panic.
