Can You Change?

We all know change is inevitable and often times stressful. We also know that change is necessary to evolve. Technology pushes us daily to embrace this mindset. I feel I have to continue to learn so I can lead effectively. With all this said, there are times to slow down, reflect, and remember. Can you remember times when a face to face in person conversation was the only kind you had? No email, texting, skype, etc... I can. Can you remember times when a written thank you note or letter was all you recieved? No email, drip campaigns, or Facebook, etc... I can.

Today's Lesson from the Coach's Daughter is...Change is necessary. Change can be good. You must embrace it and learn to grow. Remember the importance of personal touch and communication without technology. A great negotiator always will try to meet face to face in order to better read body language and overcome objections.

Your assignments today: 1. Meet face to face with someone and discuss business. See what kind of results you get. 2. Embrace change in some way and see what you can learn.

The title of today's post is "Can You Change?" The word "Can" means "are you able" while the word "May" asks permission. I believe we "Can" all learn to change and you must give yourself permission to do so.
