William Bridges Transition Model

About this template

This slide lays out the William Bridges Transition Model as a change curve across three coloured columns, with a circular Normal Productivity arrow in the middle column. The phases are Ending, Transition and New Beginnings, each paired with a label below: Reconciliation, Reorientation and Recommitment. A line dips below a dashed baseline and climbs again, with emotion words placed along it, from Denial and Anger to Acceptance and Enthusiasm. Use it to explain how people react during organisational change, in change management training, HR briefings or project kick-offs. The title, phase labels, emotion words and colours can all be edited, and the shapes can be moved or resized.
