Most people try to manage change.
Very few make space for transition.

And that difference matters more than we often realise.

Change is something that happens around us.
Transition is what happens within us.

As William Bridges described, change is situational, but transition is the psychological process we go through to adapt to it. Professionals are often trained to focus on the former, while quietly overlooking the latter.

Change Is Visible. Transition Is Not.

A new role, a new direction, a new phase in life.
That is change.

The inner work of letting go, sitting with uncertainty, and becoming ready for what comes next?
That is transition.

And it is the part we tend to rush.

We look for clarity too quickly.
We search for answers before we have fully processed what is ending. In doing so, we often move forward without integration, carrying old patterns into new contexts.

Why Speed Undermines Sustainable Growth

Sustainable growth does not come from speed.
It comes from allowing the in-between.

From pausing long enough to ask:

• What am I leaving behind?
• What no longer fits?
• What wants to emerge next?

These are not efficiency questions.
They are alignment questions. And alignment cannot be forced. It requires space, reflection, and the willingness to stay present with uncertainty for a little longer than feels comfortable.

Feeling Unsettled Does Not Mean You Are Stuck

If you feel unclear or unsettled right now, that does not mean you are failing or falling behind.

It means you are transitioning.

That in-between phase can feel uncomfortable, especially in a world that rewards certainty and quick decisions. Yet it is often exactly where the most meaningful leadership shifts begin.

Coaching Through Transition

At SustainGrowth Coaching, I support people through transitions with calm, structure, and intention, so the next step is not just new, but aligned and sustainable.

If you are navigating a change and want space to reflect, realign, and move forward consciously, feel free to book a free chemistry session.

Growth that lasts rarely comes from rushing ahead.
It comes from making space for transition.
