“If everything changes, but you don’t, you have a bit of a problem!” – Futurist  Jim Carroll

Are you doing everything you can to align yourself to the faster world of today? Fun fact: I do a lot of text message polling from the stage. I ask people if they think their world will look the same five years out. NO. I ask if they are prepared for that speed of change. NO. I then ask: do you make excuses that get in the way? YES!

Many people seem to be driven by a rather simple outlook on life: whenever confronted with something new, they quickly respond that we can’t change things because “we’ve always done it that way.” That, and many more of the ‘innovation killers’ that I document on my Web site.

Lots of people just don’t like change, don’t want to have to deal with change, and certainly won’t accept change! They’ve been born with a change anti-virus that immediately rejects any invasion of their comfort zone by any type of new initiative

Is that you? If so, then you need to challenge yourself on change!
