Change Happens. Winners Adjust!
How to Stay Calm, Focused and Driven During Changing Times
To improve in any area of business or life, change must occur. With mergers, acquisitions, re-engineering, re-strategizing, re-focusing, and difficult economies the era of predictability is over. Add to the mix the shortening time span of the surprise of change and the fact that change is the new business norm. Almost all industries and organizations are constantly forced to do more with less and continually improve process and product. What this all means is that everyone in your organization must embrace change.
In Change Happens, Winners Adjust!, the turnaround and enlightenment start with a self audit of your change-adeptness. Learn three things you can do to immediately become more adept at mastering the change process. Darin shows you how to gain control of yourself during times of change and how to control change instead of change controlling you.
How to Take Charge of Your Health to Ignite More Energy
When moving an organization, team, or your performance from “good” to “great,” often a paramount ingredient is overlooked in this challenging process. What is this missing ingredient on the road to greatness? It is the physical health and energy levels of the individuals that make up a team and company. When people are healthier, good things start to happen all on their own: increased morale, commitment to mission, staff cohesion, and a higher level of productivity.
Challenging work requires healthy people. This is why Darin shows you how the power of getting clear on what type of health you want for yourself and taking ownership of your health will give you better results in everything you do. Own Your Health unlocks the hidden energy sources that lie in each of us and shows us how a few simple changes at work and in our personal lives can quickly and dramatically improve our performance and life!
