Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

How do you feel about change?

We've spoken about change on the podcast before.

I know it is a scary topic for a lot of people.

Human beings, we are not wired for change because change doesn't feel like security. It doesn't feel like safety. And so our brains like the familiar.

We like the comfortable because we feel like, oh, at least this isn't threatening.

And then change could almost feel like an enemy.

It could feel like it's against us.

We can resist it.

But what if we did something else?

What if we looked at it in a completely different way?

Now, I recently spoke to a friend of mine and his team.

He and I were colleagues when I was in the tech sector, and he's still in that world, which is

wonderful. And his team have gone through an exit, meaning they've been purchased by a big

company. It's all public. It's all out there.

It's very exciting. But this has happened to me before, too, in my career, going through an exit,

being purchased by a big organization, a startup that I loved, you know, being essentially

swallowed up into a bigger organization. There are a lot of questions. There's fear.

There's, you know, what's going to happen to my job? Is it safe? What's it going to be like there?

What are the, you know, what are these people like, et cetera, et cetera, right? The uncertainty can scare us.

And I just want to share a couple of thoughts that I shared with that team that can be

useful for you today, whatever it is you're going through, that involves a transition.
