You only change when it hurts

Every real change in your last ten years has a disaster attached to it somewhere in the story.

In short

“Changing under pressure” is a growth pattern: a tendency that repeats, not a fixed fact about you. You put in your notice the week the company announced cuts, not in the three years before.

What it looks like

You put in your notice the week the company announced cuts, not in the three years before. Growth and emergency got tied together, so calm feels like standing still. An emergency does the deciding for you, and that is what you miss about it. Calm leaves the choosing to you. One experiment: book the hard thing yourself — the difficult conversation, the bold ask — before life books one for you. You change fast and fully when it counts. The trigger is the only part up for negotiation.
