Change Curve

The Change Curve is a model that describes the emotional stages people experience when facing change, typically illustrated as a graph. It starts with a sense of initial excitement, followed by confusion and frustration as challenges arise. People then begin to accept the change, eventually leading to adaptation and growth. This curve underscores that emotional responses to change are normal and that individuals may progress at different rates. Understanding this model can help organizations and individuals manage transitions more effectively by anticipating reactions and providing appropriate support throughout the process.
