Why do people struggle with creating the changes they say they want? With over a decade of work with thousands of clients in the fields of organizational consulting, executive coaching and psychotherapy, author Michael Diettrich-Chastain reveals the seven life dimensions that impact our ability to make professional and personal changes...as well as why we succeed at making certain changes and fail at others. Ever wonder why things aren't going the way you planned? Why things are happening TO you instead of YOU making them happen? Have you set out to create change in your life and then been drawn back into old patterns that you tried so hard to avoid? Do you know what questions to ask to get you moving and excited about your personal and professional life again? CHANGES will help you ask the right questions, integrate the various parts of your life experience, and translate understanding into behavior. Stress, demands, assumptions, pressure, and expectations can often hijack our ability to create sustainable change. CHANGES is an evergreen resource that will assist busy professionals in reaching goals not yet accomplished, adapt to challenging circumstances, and reduce stress along the way. Savvy leaders will see the resources and tools in CHANGES as paramount to creating behavior change in themselves and those that they lead. Creating positive change in the individual translates into creating powerfully functioning teams and leaders. By connecting the seven different influences in our life experience, we can build the capacity to create change in any aspect of our life. Reduce your stress with actionable strategies that work and accelerate the discovery of what stressors are REALLY affecting your daily life. Improve your ability to manage fear and increase your motivation while building greater personal and professional discipline. Uncover which specific aspects of your life (mental, emotional, physical, environmental and more) are helping or hurting your ability to make change.
