Presentation Abstract

Change is a powerful force in life, both personal and professional. The happiest and most successful people on the planet are those who know how to harness change and drive it to their advantage. Whether evolution, revolution or renaissance, change can be good; especially when we take action to create it ourselves.
 
Harnessing the Power of Change offers funny observations and some very useful advice about how to escape the rut of old habits, how to avoid the inevitable crash that comes when operating on autopilot and how to steer clear of the perils of complacency.
 
Based on 27 years of creating and facilitating change in hundreds of business environments and dozens of conversations with masters of change, (people like Navy SEALs, Astronauts, Professional Improvisers and Trauma Surgeons) Harnessing the Power of Change will teach you how to make the most of whatever the universe throws your way.
