Backward Bicycle

Change takes time! Are you being patient with yourself as you try doing something new? And are you demonstrating the same patience with others as they are working through a change?

Destin Sandlin’s experiment on the “backward bicycle” shows that knowing how do to something, doesn’t immediately translate to being able to do it. But have faith, because with a little bit of time and perseverance, you’ll get there.

So the next time you are frustrated that your team isn’t following the new process given to them or when your child (or partner!) does the same (annoying!) thing again, I hope the “backward bicycle” video reminds you to step back, smile and encourage them.
