Watching a historical moment unfold, for the Catholic Church, today on TV! I was thinking back on the day of his election and placement as head of the Catholic Church 8 years ago and I am amazed on how peaceful any transition has been over the centuries.

My first thought moved to the small word: Transition

We could learn a great string from the transitions in the past. Many of the heads of states or Companies transitions are not as piece full and fluent.

We in our personal and business life have many transitions we face on a regular basis.  Some of the obvious once are birth, graduation, marriage, death, divorce, job change just to name a few obvious once.

How well do we deal with any transition is all up to us, our personal preparation and attitude we bring to the table.  Any transition is emotional no matter how good we prepare and it is ok to have emotions.

My favorite saying is: “We are humans and not robots.”

I ran across a great article from the CharmingHealth.com called the “Transition Phases During Life and emotional imbalance” where I found some great Ideas and tips on how to deal with life’s transitions we all have to face.

Now you are asking what this would have to do with our business life.

I am thinking a lot.

When we are not prepared ourselves to deal with the life’s little emotions that might come our way how can we help our contractors we hired or employees we have with their emotional crutches they keep.
