What is My Change Experience?

My Change Experience brings together first person accounts of lived change.

It is not a collection of expert opinion, best practice, case studies or inspirational success stories.
It is a public archive of personal experiences, shared by people who have lived through change themselves.

Some experiences describe major turning points. Others are about quiet moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed. Some arrive with clarity. Others raise more questions than answers. Some end in success. Others remain unfinished.
Each offers a perspective that helps us better understand what it means to experience change.

Why does it exist?

Change is one of the defining features of human life. Yet much of what we know about it comes from experiences that have already been interpreted, organised and turned into lessons, models, frameworks and methodologies.

In our efforts to understand change, we naturally look for coherence, patterns and explanations. These are valuable, but they also shape what we pay attention to. Experiences that are successful, coherent and easily explained are more likely to be remembered, shared and studied. Experiences that are uncertain, unresolved, contradictory or simply ordinary are often overlooked or dismissed.

Our understanding of change remains incomplete when it is built primarily from the accounts that fit comfortably within existing ways of thinking.

My Change Experience exists to create space for the experiences that are too often left behind.
By preserving first person accounts of change as they were lived, this archive recognises that some of the richest insights into change are found not only in certainty and success, but also in uncertainty, struggle, ambiguity and the everyday experiences that rarely become part of the conversation.

Who can contribute?

Everyone has experienced some meaningful change in their personal life, work or community.

Your experience may relate to your personal life, work, family, health, education, faith, leadership, relationships or community. It may describe a life changing event or a seemingly ordinary episode that changed how you saw yourself, another person or the world around you.

It does not need to be dramatic or successful or feel complete or provide answers.
If it reflects something real about what it was like to experience change, it belongs here.

These are first person accounts of lived change. These are not polished success stories or expert case studies. They are honest accounts of how change was actually experienced.
