"What will this do for me?"

With these ebooks:

• You will be shown what to ask and how to act NOW - for immediate results
• You will be educated to challenge people and know what the right questions are to ask
• You will understand the core and universal principles of successful change and how to adapt and apply them to your own organisation
• You will understand the strengths and weaknesses of popular change models - you will gain understanding of the holistic view - how it all hangs together
• You will be equipped to challenge prevailing assumptions and to facilitate discussions with colleagues [up + down the line]
• You will have a language and framework to articulate sensitive issues
• You will have the tools to "health-check" your own plans for a change initiative
• You will gain insights into original perspectives, tools and processes never published before

"What experience is all this based on?"

Quite simply, I have been there:

• Large messy projects
  
• Small messy initiatives
  
• Failed
  
• Succeeded
  
• Hit targets
  
• Pushed through unpopular measures
  
• Sacked people
  
• Made people cry
  
• Been reduced to tears myself
  
• I have lived through management reins of terror
  
• Worked for tyrannical numbers-obsessed bosses
  
• Built teams
  
• Implemented strategy
  
• Facilitated change
  
• Won friends in business and influenced people
  

In short, I've been there, seen it and done it - the good the bad and the ugly. I know what works and what doesn't - and why - I have the scars to prove it.
