A Change Question - Where is this change leading me, and do I want to follow?

Welcome to A Change Question — a special mini-series from The Inner Game of Change. In each short, solo episode, I bring you one question worth sitting with — the kind that can spark both personal and professional shifts.  In this episode, I explore a question that often slips past us until it is too late: Where is this change leading me, and do I want to follow? Change always has direction. Sometimes it carries us forward, other times it drags us somewhere we never meant to go. The risk is drift, arriving at a destination we did not choose. Drawing on stories from Galileo to Satya Nadella, and from poetry to business pivots, I explore how agency begins with pausing to ask the question, then noticing the patterns shaping the current, and finally choosing the path you want to take. Because every change carries you somewhere. The real power lies in deciding; drift if you choose, change if you must, but never surrender your agency to choose the path yourself.
