while shifting abroad for higher education (Cameron and

the life as I had to travel abroad for my higher education

approaches

APPLICATION OF THE THEORY ON
CHANGE
• Stage 1- Losing and letting go- As per the first stage, I was in the situation of
uncertainty as I was scared of travelling abroad and there was no such
acknowledgement of the operations
• Stage 2- Neutral Zone- It is the level of low productivity and anxiety regarding
the new changes which are occurring in the life. There was a feeling of anxiety
along with low morale which has affected the overall status of my mind
• Stage 3- New Beginning- However, at the end, there was high energy along with
openness to learning which has helped me in understanding the change and
following the same appropriately

and establish the change which plays a vital role

CHALLENGES EXPERIENCED IN
IMPLEMENTING CHANGE
• Firstly, there was conflict between me and the other members
in the university as there was difference in the language and
culture which created huge chaos (Pugh 2016)
• There was a fear of missing out as the place was far from
home and it made me feel demotivated
• There was cross cultural barriers among me and the other
members in the class which led to decrease in morale and it
affected the overall performance

ANALYSIS ON CHANGE MANAGEMENT

experiences faced by the individuals which will prove to be
beneficial for the growth in the newer aspects of life
• However, there can be fear of changes as there can be issues related
to mistrust and rejection and it can reduce the morale of the
employees negatively
• The problems related to communication can be improved through
filtering the individuals and the change management will be a
positive prospect (Pugh 2016)

one of the aspects which can impact the lives of the
individuals appropriately
