A sporting chance


Scott Schwab:
When looking at the process of change management and development, I believe that a look into the business side of this example will help our understanding of the application.

Change Management- techniques that aid in the evolution, composition, and policy management of the design and implementation of an object or system. What this means in laymen terms, is that we as people need to evolve with our health goals and successions. We have never promoted perfection now. We believe moderation in all things, unless it is a harmful substance or detrimental decision. Also, sustainable changes take time and consistency. We need to implement policies and a system that is measurable. I am a firm believer that success comes through failure. We all know how to eat bad, so now let's learn how to eat better, then good, and then great. Change management is not a sprint, it is a journey that is long and hard and usually inconvenient. However, if it is important and worth it, you will do it.

Development- The act of progress and development within a defined measurement system with specific parameters. Development in health can be measured by sight and feeling. You may begin a regiment and not necessarily see results but you can feel better and also feel a difference in the way your clothes fit. Do not stop because you don't see the results, but make the adjustments s.o that you can turn the feeling into sight. Remember to define your goals and hold yourself accountable by telling others, making your goals visible, and developing a level of commitment that will facilitate success. Furthermore, experiment with adjustments that you can measure. For example try eliminating soda for a week to see how you feel. Know that you will get sugar headache at first, but when you prevail you can see immediate results. I have personally seen multiple people take this challenge and lose 10 pounds within 1 month. It is hard though and can be inconvenient.

In conclusion
Most people generally get what they work for. If you want results, what do you need to do? The need/want relationship can be applied to nearly everything. Conversely if you want something what do you need to do. On the sphere of need/want, hinges the motivation and formula to accomplish anything!
