88. Janine Lequay on Navigating Life and Career Changes with Intention

In this episode, Janine Lequay, change strategist, author, and founder of Soleil Edge, joins us to reframe how we process personal and organizational transitions. Drawing from over 15 years of experience in organizational change management and her own sudden corporate layoff, Janine addresses a critical gap: why over 70% of organizational change initiatives fail, and why individuals are rarely taught how to navigate change proactively. She introduces her signature acronym framework, The DO IT Change Method™ (Discover, Own, Implement, Transform), explaining how to break the autopilot loop, move past the "depths of despair," and treat change as an evolution rather than chaos. Janine also breaks down the dynamics of her Change Archetype Assessment, showing how different processing styles—from activators to analyzers and regulators—impact team collaboration and personal relationships. Full of refreshing clarity, she offers listeners a practical guide to stepping out of isolation, embracing community, and reclaiming alignment when the ground shifts beneath them.
