Course Description

Change can be a good thing. Change of pace. Finding "change" in the bottom of your pocket...enough for that extra cup of Joe. Change the channel on the TV for another view of the world. But what if change involves layoffs or bankruptcies or perhaps your company or firm is going through a merger - definitely a change that would rock your world!

Suddenly, change can seem like a long lost brother coming back into your life - maybe not quite prepared for all the potential upheaval that may come along with new and uncertain circumstances.

How do YOU respond to change? Get angry? Do you become defensive or experience out and out panic about any new wrinkles in your "business suit"? Join Lisa Mininni with Excellerate Associates as she shares her ideas in this MAPCast for helping you or your firm in building a rock-solid foundation for a brighter economic future.
