Three Stages of Transition
Bridges’ Three Stages of Transition
If you are in between employment opportunities by choice or necessity, it is important to understand where you are in your transition cycle. William Bridges in his excellent guide, Transitions, Making Sense of Life’s Stages, has identified three stages involved in a transition that individuals will experience while undergoing change. They include:
| Endings | Dealing with Loss | Anger, Blame, Fear, Shock |
| Neutral Zone | Transitional Period | Anxiety, Confusion, Uncertainty |
| Beginnings | Setting New Goals | Integration, Reinventing Yourself |
