Change isn’t waiting for you to be ready.
It’s here, reorgs, relocations, new roles, shifting markets, life curveballs. Most advice says “be resilient” and then leaves you to figure out what that actually means on a busy Tuesday under real pressure.

This book gives you a practical system to adapt without burning out.

In How to Adapt to Change and Come Out Stronger, executive mentor and research-translator Morgan Hale shows you how to turn messy transitions into deliberate upgrades using three simple dials:

• Clarity – See what’s really happening and what matters most.
• Capacity – Protect your energy and attention while things move.
• Cadence – Move in small, testable steps instead of all-or-nothing leaps.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Use the 3 Questions, What’s true? What’s possible? What’s next?, to think clearly under pressure.
• Build a one-page Transition Dashboard so you always know your Top Outcome, bets in flight, and energy flags.
• Run Small Viable Bets (SVBs), small experiments with clear signals instead of risky, irreversible decisions.
• Compare your options with the Transition Scorecard (Impact / Feasibility / Energy / Support / Risk).
• Design 30-day, two-way-door moves with clear exit criteria so you can commit without locking yourself in.
• Keep your baseline steady with simple SMSH floors (Sleep / Movement / Sunlight / Hydration) and fast resets for emotional spikes.
• Install the weekly Friday Decision review so you stop drifting and adjust your path in 25 minutes.

You’ll get:

• Concrete scripts for tough conversations during change.
• Checklists, scorecards, and run sheets you can use straight away.
• Short “quick wins” and 24–48 hour checkpoints so you see progress fast.

This isn’t hype. It’s a practical resilience system for ambitious people under real pressure, people who can’t pause life to “go find themselves,” but still want to come out of change stronger, clearer, and more in control of their next chapter.

If you’re tired of being told to “embrace change” and ready to run it like a process, this book is your operating manual.
