ChangeArtist is an informational resource and supportive community for individuals going through change. There is also a book called ChangeArtist: Surviving Change, discussed below.
I (JoNel) have been through many, many changes in life, and I found that they often made me feel isolated or lonely, confused and anxious. This lead me to a desire to help others through changes, hopefully softening what can be a sometimes [Read more →]
Join the Forums!
The Forum is designed to visit with each other about changes, as well as to learn from one another. Each month, a $25 Starbucks gift card will be given to a randomly-selected Forum participant (or $25 will be donated to the charity of your choice).
Categories reflect not only my research interests as an educator and scientist, but also things that I have found are important to understand about oneself. This is your opportunity to share with others, to learn from others, and to help others learn about themselves.
Sign up for Paid Research!
Send your e-mail address (via Contact) for inclusion change-related research. Please include a summary of your changes, and/or direct me to your Forum entries. Research will commence when we have enough participants for valid study results. At that time, participants will be entered in random drawings for gift cards to Amazon, Starbucks, and other retailers (or an equal amount will be donated to the charity of choice). Other paid studies on social research will be available over time.
I’m a believer in life-time learning, and I have really pushed myself to learn new ways of practicing as a coach and psychologist. Maybe it’s because I get bored if I just stay doing the same thing over and over.

Learning is really a four-step process. First is the period where you don’t even know that you don’t know–called Unconscious Incompetence. You don’t know that you don’t know something and need to learn.

I find it fascinating to listen when people are really talking about something about which they feel passionately. Their voice becomes stronger. They speak more rapidly.
Sometimes they speak louder. Their voice quality changes in a way that moves the words they are saying from their mouth, into their throat, and then to their chest. My impression is always that the words are now coming from their heart.
The transformation is pretty remarkable. Ordinary conversations turn into passionate speeches. The difference is that their passion has been ignited.

One of the best things I have done for myself lately was to read A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle, and to watch interviews with him on Oprah’s web site. Although some questioned whether Elkhart’s teachings conflicted with Christianity, I did not find that to be the case for me, personally. [Read more →]
