Switch
Change or Die

Only 10% patients changed life when told they would die if they didn't do all these "rational" things
It's the result of a purely rational response.
Totally missing the emotional piece...
Did all the same stuff as the first,
Engaged people in a conversation about change.  Set long term goals and short term goals.  Gave support to overcome roadblocks 72%!!!!
*to change we need a rational response, but also an emotional response

Feeling of fear, anger, embarrassment, overwhelmed

Time rational response- takes time upfront, less and less next time, reallocate time, half-days, use social networks to continue learning

Time emotional response- talk about doing it over a long period , if I could wave a magic wand what could I get rid of to help you do this, what do you need to succeed? Give them permission to fail, tell them there will be support

Give them an avenue to publicly say yeah but and address the positives and negatives
Brainstorm what we can leave behind, old baggage, ADDING without taking away

We need to assess opportunity cost of new technology
