Just like a traffic light, progress requires a change from STOP to GO.  We often find ourselves stuck in the "red light" phase of change, hesitant to move forward due to fear or uncertainty. Change is hard, but it doesn't have to be.  We've all felt the resistance. The fear of the unknown, the discomfort of stepping outside our comfort zone. At BOxD, we've found a unique solution: Experimentation! By treating change as an experiment, we empower leaders, teams, and individuals to try new behaviors, see the results, and decide if they're worth keeping. Our Experiment Tracker is designed to help you: 🚦 Shrink the change and make it less daunting. 🚦 Overcome cognitive biases that hold you back. 🚦 Create a positive cycle of change by focusing on behaviors. This valuable resource is the "green light" you need to accelerate your journey toward positive change.
