WALMER METHODIST CHURCH
SUMMER CAMP 2003
MARK MANLEY
PETER’S NOTES OF DISCUSSIONS AND PRESENTATION
THE DISCUSSION WAS ONE OF CHANGE. (TRANSFORMATION)
HOW DO WE REACT TO CHANGE?
HOW DO WE ACCEPT CHANGE?


STORM

FORM
PERFORM
STORM
NORM

Success of the past is one of the greatest enemies of the future
BUT
Growth is demanded of us
AND
We all resist change
BUT
Growth is impossible without change

For change and growth COMMITMENT is essential for the process.
HOWEVER
Committed people are prepared to make sacrifices. If this is true then how do we make people committed to the change?

Behaviour Incidents of activity or action
Attitude Pattern of behaviour
Values (system) For areas of our lives
Internal rules that are built-in
Values for success in the areas of work, sport, family etc.
Belief Something that we have chosen to be true (Ref Romans 12.)


HOW TO CHANGE?
Exposure
Reinforcement and repetition
Move to a value system
Integration
Adoption
Revelation


BEHAVIOUR

ATTITUDE

VALUE
BELIEF
Good = the enemy of excellence

Story of Tiger Woods. Who won the US Masters. And then went out to learn a new swing because he was not satisfied.

Who resists change?
Those who are experts in the old ways.
Those who see no success in the new ways
The timid
The uncommitted.



There will be an insecurity about our survival.
If we SURVIVED yesterday
Then why not make tomorrow like yesterday.
Here we see there is no talk of growth but merely of survival

Personal reaction phases to change
Denial
Resistance
Exploration
Commitment


DENIAL
How good things were in the past
It cant happen here
They don’t really mean it
Everything as usual attitude
Refuse to hear the new information

RESISTANCE
Anger
Loss / hurt
Stubbornness
Blaming others
Complaining
Doubting our own ability
(the opposite is: I have the ability, I am competent and They like me)






EXPLORATION
What will happen to me?
Seeing possibilities
Chaos
Indecisiveness
Learning of new skills
Decisions not based on past experiences


COMMITMENT
Where am I headed
Focus
Teamwork
Vision
Cooperation


Ability to bring about change
Use the influence that you have
Action … Prepared to take action
Endless striving
Release

Churchill: We will never, never, never, never, never, never, never give up!

Now:
Look to see what changes are needed
Where are we now?
What are the old rules?
What if we did it? Would it radically change the situation?
