Michelle Obama’s Mindset for Coping with Change

by Jennifer V. Miller

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has a tried-and-tried formula for coping with change: don’t make a big deal out of it. That’s the workplace take-away that most impressed me when I heard Mrs. Obama speak at WorkHuman 2017 conference. It’s advice borrowed from parenting her two girls. Mrs. Obama said that she and President Obama’s parenting philosophy has always been, “don’t make a big deal” out of big changes — and to reassure her daughters that they can handle whatever life throws their way.
