Organization development

1) For your past experience of change, consider if there is any advice that you would offer your past self with the benefit of time and perspective. 

2) Look for opportunities to apply course concepts in your examples and reflection.

For example, if you are talking about a past change of moving to a new organization, you can apply the concept of socialization. 

If you are talking about a future change of career or industry, you can reference Steve Jobs comments about the importance of doing what you love and never settling for something less.

3) Look for opportunities to revise general statements for greater specificity.

For example, if you note that your future change involves finding a job after graduation, you can provide details about the type of position or organization that you envision.

Because this is a future change, you are welcome to dream big. 

You can consider what forms of support or resources you will need to successfully make this change.

4) For your conclusion, consider how you can most effectively approach change in the future.

You might look for any patterns that connect your past, present and future experiences of change.

For example, I might notice that I tend to be impatient with change and need to allow time for the various stages that Morin describes. 

5) When you cite sources, include an in-text citation. 

For example, Morin (2014) or (Brown, 2011).
