On this week on GoalChat, I talked about Change with Joseph Jaffe, AJ Lauer, EdD, and Regina Roberti. Joseph is an author and host of Joseph Jaffe is Not Famous; AJ is founder of Thriving Ibis Leadership Solutions, and Regina Roberti’s company is Life Transformation Services. The only constant in life is change. When you realize change is good, that is a literal game changer.
Joseph, AJ, and Regina shared their relationships with – and definitions of – change, along with advice and inspiration for stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing change.
What is Change?
- Joseph: Things being different from what you expect/the norm.
- Regina: Change is a choice. For her change started with health. If you are not willing to go with the flow, the more you resist it, the more painful it gets
AJ: To grow and evolve, organizations, not just individuals, need to change
When to Change?
- Regina: When you will be better on the other side of change than you are now
- Joseph: When the cost of not changing is worse than changing
- AJ: Be mindful; don’t change for change’s sake

Goals
- Regina: Write down what you are struggling with and then the pros of things changing and also the cons of changing, so you can make a better assessment
- Joseph: Ask yourself 5 questions, as you are about to go to sleep: Did I show up for myself today Did I show up for others today? If today was the last day of your life, would it have been worthwhile? If today was the only day of your life, would it have been worthwhile? If today was the best day of your life, would it have been worthwhile? If the answer is no to any of them, then perhaps it’s time to change
- AJ: Look back at a change you made recently (big or small) and celebrate it!
Final Thoughts
- , Regina: Don’t wait to make changes. Don’t let your fear get the better of you. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and just leap.
- Joe: If you didn’t change during or because of the pandemic, it’s okay; there’s still time. remember, love what you do, be true to yourself, and stay the course.
- AJ: When you are scared about a change, take a deep breath and drink a glass of water. Give your body what it needs to stay centered so that it can handle the change that you are throwing at it. And then when you make it through, celebrate.
