Thinking it through helps even more. So, we&#8217;ve created 15 <em>Who Moved My Cheese?<\/em> discussion questions and organized them into six exercises for you to do alone or with a group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-exercise-1-reflect-on-the-story\">Exercise #1: Reflect on the Story<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This simple parable can give you insights into your own attitudes about change, which can help you be more successful in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Which character would you most prefer to be lost in a maze with, and why? (Sniff, Scurry, Hem, or Haw)<\/li><li>What does cheese personally represent for you?<\/li><li>Who or what controls your cheese? Who has the largest impact on the abundance or quality of your cheese?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exercise #2: Prepare for Change<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Change is natural. If you pay attention, you might detect the change coming long before it happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Are there some signs of change in your workplace or personal life? What are they, and what change might be coming?<\/li><li>What are some concrete steps you can take to prepare for this change?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exercise #3: Picture Success<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Picturing what success looks like, and imagining yourself succeeding, can help you get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What would be your equivalent of sitting on a large pile of cheese? Picture your success in vivid detail &#8211; what does the world look like? What are you doing? How do you feel? How do others feel?<\/li><li>What stepping stones can you put in place to get there?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exercise #4: Overcome Fear<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when you recognize that you must \u201cmove with the cheese,\u201d it can be difficult to leave your comfort zone due to fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>When was a time you overcame your fear in the past? What was the result? How did your life improve (or not)?<\/li><li>What lessons did you learn that you can apply to something you\u2019re hesitant to do today?<\/li><li>What would you do today if you weren\u2019t afraid? Be bold.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exercise #5: Avoid Overanalyzing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When we notice change occurring, we may waste time overanalyzing what\u2019s already happened or what might happen, instead of simply taking action to move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Think about a time when overanalyzing held you back. How did you eventually move forward?<\/li><li>What could have improved if you had acted earlier?<\/li><li>Are you overanalyzing a situation today? What would you do if you stopped overanalyzing and did what you thought was best?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exercise #6: Prepare for Continuous Change<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you expect change to happen, you\u2019ll be better prepared when it does. Think about how to better prepare for changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>How could your company or organization better prepare for unexpected changes?<\/li><li>How could you make yourself more resilient to future changes? This can be for your professional or personal life.<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you experience change, is it distressing or rewarding? Do you tend to overanalyze?
