That moment of disruption felt surprisingly familiar, not just personally but professionally. It mirrored what so many of us experience when navigating organizational change. The uncertainty, frustration, and scramble for a new path aren't unique to travel \u2014 they show up every time the workplace shifts direction.<\/p>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <p>The experience reminded me of the AIM blog \"Hands Up! Are Your Employees Ready for the Organizational Change Roller Coaster Ride?\" The piece uses the metaphor of a roller coaster to explain how employees move through change \u2014 not just practically, but emotionally. It details the stages people go through during both positive and negative changes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <p>This blog connects my personal travel detour with that professional insight \u2014 because whether you're on a plane, a train, or a team dealing with change, the ride is rarely smooth.<\/p>\r\n   <a href=\"https:\/\/imaworldwide.com\/change-fatigue-is-a-capacity-problem\/\"><p> For more information on change fatigue check out the main page<\/p><\/a>\r\n\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n<!-- INSERT IMAGE HERE: First image -->\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n<!-- BLOCK 2: Negative Change section -->\r\n<!-- Paste this after your first image -->\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"ph-blog\">\r\n\r\n  <h2>1. Negative Change: Denial, Anger, and Resistance<\/h2>\r\n\r\n  <p>When my flight was cancelled, my first response was disbelief \u2014 denial. Then came anger: at the airline, the timing, the situation. This emotional curve mirrors what the AIM article describes as common in negative change, where loss or uncertainty is involved.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <p>In the workplace, negative change often shows up as reorgs, layoffs, or abrupt policy shifts. The roller coaster begins with:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li><strong>Denial<\/strong> (\"This won't really happen\")<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>Anger<\/strong> (\"Why is this happening?\")<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>Bargaining<\/strong> (\"Maybe I can change it back = get on another flight tonight\")<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"callout\">\r\n    <p><strong>As AIM points out,<\/strong> these emotions aren't bad \u2014 they're indicators that transition is underway. But ignoring them? That's what prolongs resistance.<\/p>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <p>According to Gartner's 2025 HR Priorities Survey, 73% of HR leaders report that their employees are experiencing change fatigue, and 74% believe that managers are not adequately equipped to lead change effectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <p><strong>Tactics from AIM and experience:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li><strong>Vent constructively:<\/strong> Give space for emotional expression without blame.<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>Seek support:<\/strong> From colleagues, mentors, or outside voices who bring perspective.<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n<!-- INSERT IMAGE HERE: Second image -->\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n<!-- BLOCK 3: Bargaining section -->\r\n<!-- Paste this after your second image -->\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"ph-blog\">\r\n\r\n  <h2>2. Bargaining and Emotional Exhaustion<\/h2>\r\n\r\n  <p>After denial and frustration, I scrambled to find alternatives \u2014 bargaining with people at the desk, apps, flight search engines, and itineraries. When nothing worked, exhaustion took over. AIM labels this as depression, the stage where people hit emotional fatigue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <p>In organizations, this may look like quiet quitting, absenteeism, or disengagement \u2014 not resistance, but emotional depletion. Feeling tired, I booked a hotel for the night.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <p><strong>Tactics that help:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li><strong>Communicate clearly and often:<\/strong> Even saying \"we don't have the answer yet\" builds trust.<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>Start small:<\/strong> Encourage people to take one step forward, no matter how minor.<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n<!-- INSERT IMAGE HERE: Third image -->\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n<!-- BLOCK 4: Exploration section -->\r\n<!-- Paste this after your third image -->\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"ph-blog\">\r\n\r\n  <h2>3. Exploration: The Train That Changed Everything<\/h2>\r\n\r\n  <p>At some point, I had to make a decision. I booked a train \u2014 a mode of travel I hadn't used since college. Back then, hopping on a train was second nature. This time, it felt risky and unfamiliar. Why, I wondered? Why was I stuck in a belief that an airplane was the only way to travel? Well, it is normally convenient and quick. This unfortunately has been changing, leaving me spending hours at airports waiting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <p>This moment represented exploration and acceptance, the final two stages of the AIM curve for negative change. According to AIM, this is when:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li>People begin to accept the loss<\/li>\r\n    <li>Focus shifts toward the future<\/li>\r\n    <li>New options are tested<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"quote\">\r\n    <p>It wasn't just about the travel \u2014 it was a reminder of the strength and adaptability I'd forgotten I had. In the workplace, change agents must help people tap into that same kind of resilience. We also need to move ourselves through the change curve.<\/p>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <p><strong>Tips for change agents:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li>Encourage experimentation in a psychologically safe space.<\/li>\r\n    <li>Work with leaders to reinforce progress with recognition, not just outcomes.<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n<!-- INSERT IMAGE HERE: Fourth image -->\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n<!-- BLOCK 5: Everyone Rides Differently section -->\r\n<!-- Paste this after your fourth image -->\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"ph-blog\">\r\n\r\n  <h2>4. Everyone Rides the Roller Coaster Differently<\/h2>\r\n\r\n  <p>The AIM article makes another critical point: no one rides the emotional roller coaster the same way. As I sat on the train, I noticed others dealing with delays in totally different ways \u2014 some calm, some anxious, some cracking jokes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <p>The same is true on teams. Some employees sprint to \"acceptance\" while others lag in denial or resistance. Your job isn't to push them \u2014 it's to understand where they are and meet them there.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <p><strong>Change agent strategies:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li>Understand that people are at different places on the AIM change curves.<\/li>\r\n    <li>Listen to them! Establish expectations \u2014 the plane is cancelled, and we cannot get you on another plane tonight.<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n<!-- INSERT IMAGE HERE: Fifth image -->\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n<!-- BLOCK 6: Positive Change + Conclusion -->\r\n<!-- Paste this after your fifth image -->\r\n<!-- ============================================== -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"ph-blog\">\r\n\r\n  <h2>5. Positive Change Still Has Curves<\/h2>\r\n\r\n  <p>Interestingly, the AIM article also reminds us that positive changes \u2014 like a promotion or a long-awaited system rollout \u2014 trigger their own emotional loops. Those stages include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li>Uninformed Certainty<\/li>\r\n    <li>Informed Doubt<\/li>\r\n    <li>Resistance<\/li>\r\n    <li>Realistic Concern<\/li>\r\n    <li>Informed Certainty<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"callout\">\r\n    <p><strong>Even when change seems \"good,\" people still experience ups and downs.<\/strong> It's not about liking or disliking change \u2014 it's about processing it.<\/p>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <hr class=\"divider\" \/>\r\n\r\n  <h2>Riding the Train Home<\/h2>\r\n\r\n  <p>Whether you're facing a cancelled flight or an organizational overhaul, change takes you on a ride. There are moments when you want to get off, moments when you white-knuckle it, and \u2014 if you're lucky \u2014 moments where you surprise yourself by adapting in ways you didn't expect.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <p>The AIM framework gave me a powerful lens to reflect on my own response. That old train ride reminded me: sometimes the way forward requires stepping into the unknown. Where do you pick up the train? What will it be like?<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <p>It also helped that the airline representatives stated clearly the plane was cancelled and no chance that was changing. They also told me that the planes the next day would be affected and might be cancelled or delayed. This helped me decide to move forward with finding another way to get home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"quote\">\r\n    <p>Where are you right now on the emotional change curve?
