Leopards, we're told, can't do it. But there's no reason why you shouldn't. Few of us can escape change and the consequences of change. Sometimes we welcome it, but all too often we feel threatened. How we react is largely a question of whether or not we feel we can control it. This book is designed to help people to deal positively with change that others have initiated. Perhaps your company has been taken over or you've been made redundant after years of loyal service. Perhaps the change is more personal - the loss of a loved one, the breakup of a relationship. Whatever the cause, the critical factor is how you respond, take control, and move forward. There are ways of coping - and Terry Wilson shows how. Step by step he takes you through the process: letting go of the past, dealing with your feelings, seeking support from others - and moving on. This is no ordinary book on change. It is a carefully structured action manual, with exercises and self-assessments that will enable you to welcome change and achieve personal growth of spot-changing proportions!
