Expert Advice, Workshops & Support
Make a difference? With what?
Gumption - boldness and initiative.
Communications with impact - don't muck around; get to the point; give examples; use real emotions with real human issues; if possible make it a conversation not an argument.
Strategic and tactical actions - plan; assess; re-plan; re-assess; everything is changing.
Relentless and respectful behaviour - don't be a pain unless you are a knowledgeable nice pain. If you can - try humour every now and then.
Community isn't somewhere else - it's where we are. It's reality. The future is about change management & chance management.
Managing change is important, always has been. Times were constantly changing even before the COVID crisis and then the continuing world of a seemingly unpredictable Trump. Of course there is Artificial Intelligence to make things even nore interesting. We have had, and continue to have, new legislation developed and regulatory changes constantly occurring at the federal, state and local levels.
Climate is also changing to the point where superpowers who are at each other's throats about most things will stop their war of words to make joint statements about confronting the existential threat that is facing the global community. Then they change their minds and disagree. As always there are too many whowant to ignore this change or reject its science.
And - the global community is made up by tens of thousands of smaller communities.
As a result of change we have new business opportunities popping up seemingly out of nowhere; and so called modern business practices becoming obsolete overnight; there is of course always new technology coming on the market; the people we deal with change; and politicians and governments come and go.
There are also - continuously - good and bad events that need to be managed or taken advantage of - there will be opportunities to be created or taken or converted.
