Growth experiences—those journeys into the difficult and unfamiliar—are often challenging and sometimes painful. This is why many people choose to avoid them—they prefer to stay within the friendly confines of their “comfort zone.” Successfully navigating these growth experiences is how we learn and how we strengthen our self-confidence. Once you have succeeded at something that is difficult and unfamiliar, you know you can do it again. So, the next time you are confronted with a similar situation, you will feel confident that you are going to succeed. On the other hand, someone who has avoided venturing off into the difficult and unfamiliar will view the same opportunity with doubt and trepidation. The lesson here is that when growth opportunities come your way, take advantage of them. Yes, you will experience some stress and anxiety, but you will become a more confident, capable, interesting, and resilient person. You will also add a dimension of fun and excitement to your life.

‘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.
