Myth of the Week #1: Your Best Is a Moving Target
Claim: Your top performance today will be normal tomorrow. Accepting change is the key to real growth.

Research shows that setting overly ambitious goals without appreciating your current achievements can lead to […]
A presentation is NOT a training….
“Welcome to the training on communication skills! Let’s quickly go to slide number 1 to show the objectives of today!” (….) “Before we start, let’s look at how the dictionary defines communication”. (voice over:) “It was at this moment, the trainer had lost half of the audience” We have seen so many training sessions start […]
