All transformation involves change, but not all change is transformational. Chaudron (2019) notes that "change fixes [and improves] the past. Transformation creates the future." It seems to me that change is often external, while transformation is almost always internal. --- ## Sources Chaudron, M. (2019, February 1). _Change vs. transformation._ Rock 'n Change.
