One of the statements that is often made to trainers, speakers and coaches is, “My boss would not allow me to implement what you are saying” or “that is not the way we do things in our organization”.

It is about how to manage your boss.

Why does it usually take a catastrophe or some major disappointment for us to want to make changes to our lives? We get bogged down in the practical, in the mundane and the minutae of our lives and being creatures of habit, never think about making changes. What a waste of a life - accepting mediocrity.
