For the change you seek to make, what are the small steps that make big changes feel possible?
Most people need clear pathways, safe entry points, and obvious first steps. Even interested people stay stuck at the starting line.
Have you created helpful and generous stepping stones?
Small wins that build confidence?
Early experiences that show what’s possible?
Support systems that make the transition feel manageable?
The social proof that will make them feel they still fit in whatever group this change affects or the new group that will welcome them?
This means understanding that most people don’t leap into big changes. We step carefully, find excuses not to move and test each step we take because we need to feel secure before moving forward.
Sometimes it’s not enough to show people where to go. We need to help them see how to get there.
