provide peer response to Navigating through transitions is a challenging task, to say the least. As an active-duty military member, frequent change is expected. Your location, responsibility, leadership, and everyday duties, to name a few, are all liable to change unexpectedly. A task comes down, and you have to prepare yourself and, if applicable, your family for being gone for 6 months to a year. While away, you become acclimated to the environment and must transition back once your time is complete. Returning will not be the same, and an entirely new transition will begin. In the civilian world, a motivational coach or line manager has a significant responsibility to help personnel navigate transitions. Everyone responds differently to change, whether anticipated or unanticipated. Nancy Schlossberg's transition theory focuses on how individuals appraise the transition and the resources they have available to cope. Her change model does not involve organizational processes but emphasizes the human transition experience that bridges psychology and management (Lares-Martinez & Almanzar, 2023). More specifically, it highlights individual differences in employee reactions to change and explains resistance not as defiance but as a mismatch in resources, support, or appraisal. The nature of the situation, the characteristics of an individual, the level of support, and coping strategies are dependent on navigating change and transitions (Marcdante et al., 2020)
