Think of a change you have experienced in your work or personal life. Discuss your experience. Be certain to explain what your life was like before the change, the actual change, and what your life was like after the change. This writing should take several paragraphs. After sharing your experience, answer these questions:

• What did your experience teach you about managing change in your life?
• In this module's readings, you learned how the people at Starbucks, Sears, and other companies dealt with change. How does what you learned compare to what they learned?
• Since your story, you have gained valuable life experience. What new lessons have you learned that will help you manage future changes?
