About Us
The you-curve program addresses the needs of leaders who are navigating their team through a major change. We developed a new and unique approach that, for the first time, brings together two critical concepts – the stage of change and personality type of the team members.
The Process of Change
When faced with the possibility of a major change individuals experience six critical stages in the process of adapting and succeeding with change.
The six stages are:
- Initial Optimism
- Jumping In
- The Long Slide
- Rock bottom
- Climbing Up
- Success!
These stages are based on the well established scientific research conducted by of Elizabeth Kübler Ross.
People have very unique needs at each stage of the process. As leaders it is critical to guide your team members through these stages so they don’t get “stuck” and can progress quickly through to Success.
Each Person has Individual Needs
We are all shaped by our previous experiences and by who we naturally are – a combination of “nurture” and “nature”. Identifying the needs of each individual is a key skill for any leader. Every person has a natural “style” or tendency. These traits can be described in many ways. The you-curve program provides a simple but effective way to identify individual styles and needs using a four-colour system – red, yellow, green and blue.
Being able to adapt to the needs of each your team members is what separates good from great leaders.
1 + 1 = 100!
Connecting with people at an individual level will maximize their performance. Recognizing and dealing with the stages of change increases your chance for success. Bringing these two together exponentially increases your ability to deliver change successfully in your organization. The you-curve program makes this easy! It identifies individualized coaching opportunities that you can use to deliver the desired results of your initiative.
How do these geese know when to fly to the sun? Who tells them the seasons? How do we, humans, know when it is time to move on? As with the migrant birds, so surely with us, there is a voice within, if only we would listen to it, that tells us so certainly when to go forth into the unknown.
