Dr John Kotter has written a change model:”The 8 step process for leading change”. Kotter believes there are 8 stages that must be completed:…
Moving through stages of change is helpful in changing target behaviors. When a person doesn't think they have a problem or that they need to make a change, this is called the pre contemplation stage.…
Later phase: (young adulthood, middle age, and old age) change are slow, but abilities to continue to develop as people continue adapting to the environment.…
Two change management theories outlined steps to take when implementing and managing change. Kurt Lewin’s model established three steps, 1) unfreezing, 2) movement, and 3) refreezing. Lewin’s theory addresses the tendency for people to stay in their comfort zone, unwilling to change (frozen). Motivation and encouragement through leadership enables people to unfreeze and move forward toward…

The Stages of Change models shows that most people display change gradually starting from being unaware of a change needed or being unwilling to make a change (precontemplation stage) to considering a change (contemplation stage). At the contemplation stage a person will show willingness and open minded behavior that allows the necessary steps for change to take place. During this long process relapses may take place but to be considered part of the changing processing and not overshadow the growth that has been achieved, and to know that eventually the change becomes permanent.…
1.1 Analyse the factors that drive change Change is to transform something. It is generally done for an improvement. It needs to be done for the right reason and to achieve an objective and it has to follow a process. It may be an individual is changing, an organization is changing or a society is changing. It is highly emotional and may cause upheavals and stress and resistance.…
“Social workers are often seen as the profession that supports and promotes the social functioning of individuals, groups, and communities. They also work to establish societal structures and policies that support that societal functioning. Planned change at all levels, including the micro, mezzo and macro levels, is the central focus of social workers. Social workers assist clients , families, and communities to make changes that will improve their lives or change the conditions and social policies that impact their lives.” (Gartwith , 2017 page 113)…
The next stage is called the preparation stage, this is where the individuals will slowly start to progress their way through by taking actions for few months. The fourth stage is called the action stage, here the individual has acted which has helped them to overcome their problem that they have faced, and they are clearly aware of what they want to change now and finally the last and final stage of this stage of change model is called maintenance, and this is when people work to stop relapse and they would know have a good understanding how to maintain their behaviour and this prevents them to relapse. In some situation it will be harder for many people to make these changes and because of this the individual might relapse which will mean that the whole cycle must start all over again from the first stage. A recent health campaign which links into this model is the smoke free campaign. The smoke free campaign encourages and helps people to quit smoking, therefore the stages of change model can be applied to…
Change is inevitable as one goes through the maturation process. This process initiates self-reflection as one reacts to their changing perspectives. Change is emphasised in in Melinda Marchetta’s ‘Looking For Alibrandi’ and the related text Hannah Roberts short story ‘Sky High’.…
The phases of human development can be culturally defined. In fact, an individual's culture, or environment, plays a huge role in the developmental process. These influences are present even in the embryonic stages of development. For example, if a pregnant woman is a part of a culture or group which places a value on smoking or burning incents, than the mother is likely to inhale a large amount of smoke. The toxins from the smoke could have adverse effects on the baby's development which could lead to a deformity or birth complication. Another example could be a young child, say 5 years old, who is a part of a culture who only eats plants. The human body requires a balanced diet consisting of grains, dairy, fruit, meat etc. in order to be…

Transformational learning is the process of effecting change in a frame of references. There are four stages of the transformational learning process. The first stage is recognizing a significant problem. Until the individual recognizes he/she has a problem, there is little to no chance the problem will be resolved. The second stage is confronting the problem intensely. This stage takes a person through the possible reasons why the problem exists. It may require learning about the problem and effective solutions. The next stage is finding a solution to the problem. Setting objectives and identifying strategies based on this process helps the person know where he/she is going and how long the transformation will take. The final stage of the process is integrating a new perspective and a new set of assumptions into your life pattern. When an individual has formed and implemented his/her plan for new insights and skills to use or integrate for other life situations and problems, they will have the ability to confront life problems more effectively.…
