The group looks at him with a mixture of amusement, embarrassment, and amazement. What *is* this? One brave participant stands up and starts dancing along too. He sees the fun in it. Still a bit hesitant, a second student also stands up. No no, no-ne-no-no.
Little by little, more and more people start dancing along. But a few participants remain seated. Arms crossed. With a look that says: I am definitely not going to do this. The atmosphere is becoming a bit awkward. How long are we actually supposed to keep dancing, and why are we doing this?
"It's awkward, isn't it? That's a process of change too!"
Orlando turns off the music. The dancing wasn't just a dance or a 'hip energizer'. It was a way to let participants experience what change is.
In case of change:
👉 Does it always feel awkward at first?
👉 Do you have the ' early adopters' , the people who jump on easily?
👉 Do you have people who experience resistance?
And that's all okay. You can learn about change from a book. But by experiencing it, you've felt it and you'll never forget it.
This is what idiots do
They go further where others stop. A true professional sees things from a different perspective, colors outside the box, and reads between the lines. All to share knowledge and instill a love for the profession.
