The first step to change is awareness. This awareness is often created by a significant emotional event, and is generally negative. We are reactive rather than pro-active. Many of our dreams and goals get stranded on that little island called "someday I'll..." Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Make this the start of something that brings joy to yourself and others.
After serving 17 years in maximum security prisons, I participated in a seminar on cognitive psychology, and it changed the direction of my life. The knowledge and insight I gained in that three day seminar created a significant emotional event, and I've been sharing that information with inmates in prisons from California to New York, companies, communities, agencies, and individuals for the past 30 plus years. Awareness is the first step to change - you don't know what to don't know.
Staying focused in a rapidly changing world has become more and more challenging. Just when you think you have life on track, the game changes. Working with individuals and organizations across the US and Canada, and helping them cope with change and manage change has been my mission for over 30 years.
