Many of us would prefer to live our lives within the friendly confines of our “comfort zone.” And why not? That’s where life is easy, familiar, and totally risk free. Many people view their comfort zone as a sanctuary that protects them from all the dangers lurking in the outside world. The truth, however, is that our comfort zone is more like a prison than a sanctuary. And the longer we live within it, the more fearful we become of what’s on the outside—we stop trying new things, the size of our dreams begins to shrink, and life becomes stagnant and unfulfilling. When you think about it, that’s a hefty price to pay for a thimble full of security. So, do yourself a favor and break out of that self-imposed prison. Get out there and try some new things—make some new friends, go to some new places, try some new recipes, read some books from a different genre, or attend that class you’ve always wanted to take. This will cause you to learn and grow while adding a dimension of fun and excitement to your life. It will also improve your level of confidence, broaden your perspective, and give you lots more to talk about in your conversations with others.

‘100% Employee Engagement–Guaranteed! Revised Edition: Introducing a New Management Model
Imagine a workplace where every employee is engaged with their work … where every employee shows up each day excited about giving every bit of energy, creativity and passion to performing their job. These employees don’t need to be motivated because they already are and they channel their motivation toward creating a competitive edge for their company that can’t be easily copied. They’re constantly making innovative changes to products, services and customer experiences while providing superior levels of customer service which results in loyal customers. This means higher levels of repeat and referral business which, in turn, translates into significant increases in market share. In addition, absenteeism and turnover rates for these fully engaged employees are far below industry averages because they absolutely love what they do. This book presents a new management model that guarantees an employee engagement level of 100%. If you implement this model in your organization, every one of your employees will become engaged with their work; all working at their full potential. Think of what it would mean to the success of your business or organization if you could get all of your employees engaged with their work.
