Forever change the way you change...
Who hasn’t struggled with change? Whether in our personal lives, at work, or in relation to world events, we’ve all known the dread, confusion, and loss of change. Instead of approaching change from whether we like it or want it, Thresholds of Change suggests looking for what change wants from us.
Like the seasons, change is a distinct process with its own phases and sequence. Thresholds of Change offers a clear picture of how change works—the mechanics that operate no matter where change happens or how we react to it. This underlying process can be learned and with it, your innate ability to change increases.
Change is the agent of our growth, without which we’re doomed to a half-life. When we align with the change process, supporting what it brings about within us—even in the most unwanted and feared changes—change is easier. Change becomes an enlivening experience with vastly more beneficial outcomes.
Thresholds of Change applies to all change—that’s its disruptive value. In seeing this universal process of change, you’re able to work with it much more effectively. And you’re able to use the changes in your life as they’re intended: the way to reach your full human potential.
Advance Reviews...
"Thresholds of Change is a fascinating and faithful representation of how we move through change. This book is a remarkable and much-needed tool for our collective toolbox that we will use again and again."
- Arthur "Butch" Blazer, Deputy Under Secretary, USDA (2011-2016)
"Thresholds of Change is a treatise for our times and Reynolds’ treatment of this sometimes thorny topic is wisdom-filled. The book takes you step-by-step through the gauntlet of the different stages of change and the opportunities for learning that each offers."
- Dr. Rebecca E. Skeele, DSS, author, Manifest Your Sacred Ambition
"Thresholds of Change provides a powerful framework that sheds light on something that we all go through—change. Drawing on her long professional consulting experience, Reynolds shows us that every type of change shares a common underlying process that’s hidden by differences in content, context, and the emotions aroused. By articulating the common steps involved in the cycle of change, Reynolds helps us learn where we are in that cycle. I know I will be using the wisdom in this book in my work and life."
-Nilanjana Dasgupta, author, Change the Wallpaper;
Provost Professor, Psychological & Brain Sciences,
University of Massachusetts Amherst
"This compassionate guide to change is buoyed by Reynolds' sensitivity to human suffering and her unbreakable faith in the human potential for eudaemonia, the happiness of a life well lived."
- Joan Landes, Professor Emerita, Penn State University
"In these times when the demand for individual and collective transformational change is at a zenith, the magical timing of this penetrating and important work is a gift to us all."
- Maggie Fox, Founder, Kinship; Past CEO, The Climate Reality Project
Rebecca Borland Reynolds, author
Founder and Principal of her firm, Rebecca Reynolds Consulting, Reynolds has pioneered new methods and models for change in diverse and far-reaching projects: Federal lands management, information resources, services for the unhoused, Olympic training facilities, the arts, healthcare, social justice, education, and more.
Working in change for 30 years - in organizations and multi-entity endeavors and with teams and individuals - Reynolds discovered a new way to approach change. No matter where it's taking place, who is involved, or what the reaction is, change can be far easier to undergo and vastly more productive. Thresholds of Change shows us the way.
Major change projects involve individuals whose personal changes (health issues, divorces, retirement) contribute to the overall change dynamic.
Reynolds' methods apply with equal success to personal and organizational change, opening wholly new pathways of thinking, capability, and creativity.
