Why Should You Announce That You’re Changing?
People rarely notice small behavioral shifts. Actively advertising change and following up ensures others both recognize and support progress.
Metaphor
Announcing you’re changing is like putting up scaffolding around a building under renovation. Without it, passersby assume it’s the same old structure, but the visible framework signals work is underway and invites patience.
In the same way, declaring your behavioral shifts makes progress noticeable and opens the door for others to reinforce and support your growth.
