Episode 8: The World Changes: We Need New Models of Change, Part 1- The Seat Belt Story

What past models of change can we learn from to adapt to our current change needs?

Join me today in a special discussion to take a deep dive on a recent change we needed to make as a society.  The way we adapt to our present need for change is by learning from past examples.  What did we face when we had to implement change to keep us safe previously?  I’ll review the not so surprising story of how we adapted to wearing seatbelts here in the United States.  An abject lesson as we struggle with the current challenges with wearing face masks to keep us safe in the pandemic.    

Topics discussed in this episode:

• How we can learn from a past societal change – the movement to adopt seatbelts in the US

• How we can address the challenges of overcoming resistance to change when there is a safety imperative

• What we’ll need to focus on to help our team with the lessons from seatbelts
