A principle about change…
“Life is inherently risky. There
is only one big risk you avoid
at all cost, and that is the risk
of doing nothing.” - Denis Waitley
![Page 21: MCE 2009 Annual Pre-Conference](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815b9c550346895dc9a272/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Moving Forward in Times of Change
Change can be Stressful & Create Uncertainty
Discuss concerns internally with colleagues, administrators
Communicate externally to MCE stakeholders with positive, consistent messages (can ask for help in crafting a message, if needed)
It is important that we all are invested in a strong future for MCE

Closing thought…
“Change the changeable,
accept the unchangeable,
and remove yourself from the
unacceptable.” - Denis Waitley
