*Reinvention: A Word That Sparks Feelings*
When you hear the word "reinvention," what comes to mind? Do you feel a sense of excitement and possibility or do you tense up with anxiety and uncertainty?
For some, "reinvention" might evoke thoughts of radical change, disruption and uncertainty. It can be intimidating, especially if you’re comfortable with the status quo. But what if we reframed "reinvention" in a way that feels more approachable and inviting?
