Change is a constant in both our professional and personal lives. Yet, the question remains: when change is necessary, do we need to abandon our core identity? The answer is no. True transformation isn’t about erasing who we are but about reconfiguring our strengths and talents into a new, effective structure.
Each of us is unique, shaped by our experiences, skills, and personality. However, at the core, we all share certain fundamental traits—just like basic geometric shapes. Imagine three primary forms:
The Square – Solid, structured, reliable. A strong foundation, but sometimes rigid.
The Triangle – Sharp, adaptable, always moving forward. A natural problem-solver.
The Circle – Effortless, fluid, unstoppable. A master of navigating change.
These simple shapes represent different approaches to life and work. The magic lies in how we arrange them.
To illustrate this, let’s meet three characters who embody different configurations of these shapes:
Mr. Square
Mr. Square is solid, structured, and confident. He thrives on routine and clarity. Change? Why bother when things are working just fine? But sometimes, rigidity can lead to stagnation. What if adjusting just one edge could open new doors?
Mrs. Triangle
Mrs. Triangle sees change as an opportunity. Her sharp edges help her cut through challenges and move forward with precision. She embraces transformation, always seeking new ways to position herself for success. Change? Yes! Let’s tri-angle a new perspective.
Ms. Circle
Ms. Circle glides through life, adaptable and unshaken by obstacles. She embraces change effortlessly, always in motion, never getting stuck. Change? Of course! She simply rolls with it.
The ArroWing logo is built on this very principle: transformation through rearrangement. It represents movement, evolution, and the ability to shift without losing what makes us unique.
In my coaching and change management programs, I help individuals and teams recognize their core strengths and find new ways to align them for success. You don’t need to become someone else—you just need to rediscover and reposition your existing talents.
Which shape reflects your current mindset? How do you rearrange your strengths when facing change?
