RE: Re: Introductions

Wayne,

Your point on loss really struck a chord with me.  Sometimes resistance is
fear of losing the opportunity to something even better than what is being
proposed.   It may be fear of losing track of the vision.  That's the type
of loss that I feel when I'm resisting.  One of the important things that I
need to figure out is how to make that clear in my resistance.

  Dale,
  Thank you for ordering my book.  I'd love to know what you think of it
after you've read it.

  I may have told you about the jazz guitar at Change Shop. I'm a big fan of
Russ Freeman and the Rippingtons. I haven't played in a long time.

  Regarding resistance, I recall something you said once. I don't remember
where, maybe PSL or Leaders' Forum.  But it stuck with me and I have quoted
you (with proper credit) on several occasions. You said something like,
"People don't fear change so much as they fear loss."  I think the fear of
loss is a key aspect if not the heart of resistance.  If this is true, and I
believe it is, one way resistance could be a resource is to alert us to
perceived losses.  If we explore the perceptions we may find there are some
things we definitely don't want to lose (during a change process.)

  Wayne.

    Hi Wayne,

    I didn't know you were budding.  Seemed to me as if you were in
    full bloom!  That was certainly a transforming occasion for me.

    I've finally ordered it.

    If I remember right, once upon a time you listed "playing jazz
    guitar" as one of your interests.  Am I remembering right?  I've
    been toying with jazz guitar for a few years, and I'm finding
    that jazz guitar is a very different beast than rock and roll guitar.

    Dale
