Dotty Scott discusses why embracing change matters, using the COVID-19 pandemic as an example of how businesses were forced to pivot quickly to remote work. Staying ahead of market shifts requires adapting rather than resisting.
The biggest thing that has helped me, I would say, is embracing change. Really? Can you expand on that a little bit? Well, people hate change. People do, they hate change. But the thing is, we change the moment we wake up. We're changing beings, right? We're evolving all the time. So we don't realize that change that happens to us physically on a daily basis, but we see the change that happens outwardly, you know, like there's a system upgrade, there is a new process, a new product on the market that's replacing your product. How do you pivot? It's always being two steps ahead of what's coming down the road. It's not always easy. I'm not saying it's easy, right? Because you have to know what is coming down the road to be— and it might not be what you want. I mean, just think about in the pandemic, right? Overnight you were told to work from home. Many corporations, they were like this with it because they wanted people coming in, but now they realize that was the best thing that ever happened.
