Change Strategy Design

A coaching and consulting practice with a difference! Our logo says it all. We believe that as we are all uniquely different, the way we approach getting what we want from life is as unique as we are. Some of us have a 10-year plan all mapped out. Others know where they’re going, but don’t feel the need to write it down. Then there’s the rest of us who want to leave the future where it is…in the future! We know we want a good life, and we’d rather not spoil the spontaneity of the moment by thinking too far ahead. After all, as John Lennon said in his famous quote: “Life is what happens to us while we’re making other plans!”
It seems rather incongruous that in a society of super sophisticated communication, we often suffer from a shortage of listeners - Erma Bombeck                Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared." - Eddie Rickenbacker                You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do. - Eleanor Roosevelt                Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake. - Victor Hugo                When it is dark enough, you can see the stars. - Charles Beard                Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who make things happen. - Harold Whitman                Pray that success will not come any faster than you are able to endure it. - Elbert Hubbard                Seek first to understand, then to be understood. - Stephen Covey                Winners make things happen. Losers let things happen. Unknown source                You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely! - Ogder Nash                 Do one thing every day that scares you. - Eleanor Roosevelt                 Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have, and underestimate the value of what they might gain by giving that up. - J. Rosenfeld                 When there is no vision, there is no hope. - George W. Carver                 Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have, and underestimate the value of what they might gain by giving that up. - J. Rosenfeld                 Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious. - Brendan Gill                 Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome. - Isaac Masimoy                 The unexamined life is not worth living. - Socrates                 You're alive. Do something. The directive in life, the moral imperative was so uncomplicated it could be expressed in single words, not complete sentences. It sounded like this: Look. Listen. Choose. Act. - Barbara Hall                 There is no old age. There is, as there always was, just you. - Carol Mathau                 I grow more intense as I age. - Florida Scott-Maxwell                 Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose. - Elizabeth Kubler-Ross                 There is no need to go to India or anywhere else to find peace. You will find that deep place of silence right in your room, your garden or even your bathtub. - Elizabeth Kubler-Ross                 Sometimes the cure for restlessness is rest. - Colleen Wainwright                 When we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere.- Francois de La Rochefoucauld                 A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire. - Francois de La Rochefoucauld                 He enjoys true leisure who has time to improve his soul's estate. - Henry David Thoreau                 I think that when you invite people to your home, you invite them to yourself. - Oprah Winfrey                 My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment. - Oprah Winfrey                 Every one of us gets through the tough times because somebody is there, standing in the gap to close it for us. - Oprah Winfrey                 I know for sure that what we dwell on is who we become. - Oprah Winfrey                 Money can't buy happiness, but neither can poverty. - Leo Rosten                 The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there if you're willing to work. - Oprah Winfrey                 I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much. - Mother Theresa                 Though I am grateful for the blessings of wealth, it hasn't changed who I am. My feet are still on the ground. I'm just wearing better shoes. - Oprah Winfrey                 God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try. - Mother Theresa                 I've learned that you can't have everything and do everything at the same time.- Oprah Winfrey                 Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. - Mother Theresa                 Be more splendid, more extraordinary. Use every moment to fill yourself up. - Oprah Winfrey                 Every time you suppress some part of yourself or allow others to play you small, you are in essence ignoring the owner's manual your creator gave you and destroying your design. - Oprah Winfrey                 I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others. - Oprah Winfrey                 Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it. - Oprah Winfrey                 All these years I've been feeling like I was growing into myself. Finally, I feel grown. - Oprah Winfrey                 You can have it all. You just can't have it all at once. Oprah Winfrey                 No man fails who does his best. - Orison Swett Marden                 Test fast, fail fast, adjust fast. - Tom Peters                 It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about? - Henry David Thoreau                 Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all. - Sam Ewing                 Minds, like bodies, will often fall into a pimpled, ill-conditioned state from mere excess of comfort. - Charles Dickens                 Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known. - Carl Sagan                 A #2 pencil and a dream can take you anywhere. - Joyce A. Myers                 It is not so important to know everything as to know the exact value of everything, to appreciate what we learn, and to arrange what we know. - Hannah More                 I'm treating you as a friend asking you to share my present minuses in the hope that I can ask you to share my future pluses. - Katherine Mansfield                 Yes, Mother.

That is your greatest gift to me. - Alice Walker                 A man travels the world in search of what he needs and returns home to find it. - George Moore                 I can trust my friends.

Schuller                 Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary. - Cecil Beaton                 "Now" is the operative word. Everything you put in your way is just a method of putting off the hour when you could actually be doing your dream. You don't need endless time and perfect conditions. Do it now. Do it today. Do it for twenty minutes and watch your heart start beating. - Sam Ewing                 Your mind, while blessed with permanent memory, is cursed with lousy recall. Written goals provide clarity. By documenting your dreams, you must think about the process of achieving them. - Gary Ryan Blair                 Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt                 Before me, even as behind, God is, and all is well. - John Greenleaf Whittier                 Thank you, God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough. - Garrison Keillor                 A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell. - C. S. Lewis                 A man who lives right, and is right, has more power in his silence than another has by his words. - Phillips Brooks                 I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine. - Bruce Lee                 I'm just kind of taking whatever life gives me and hoping that I make the right decision. - Amy Smart                 Every day, people settle for less than they deserve. They are only partially living or at best living a partial life. Every human being has the potential for greatness. - Bo Bennett                 A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life. - Charles Darwin                 Has fortune dealt you some bad cards. Then let wisdom make you a good gamester. - Francis Quarles                 Laughter is the closest distance between two people. - Victor Borge                 I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed. - Robert H. Schuller                 I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. - Groucho Marx                 Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness. - James Thurber                 Never let the fear of striking out get in your way. - Babe Ruth                 People who matter are most aware that everyone else does too. - Malcolm S. Forbes                 A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men - God                
There is no question, we live in a changing world. 50 years ago terms like “twenty four seven”, “Bluetooth”, and “terrorism” had very different meanings to what we associate them with today. Think about it. We are bombarded with so many new messages and different ways of doing and being, how do we make sense of it all? And more importantly, how do we live successfully within that ever-changing environment?
How do we get from where we are to where we want to be? If our current circumstances are overwhelming and causing all kinds of complications in our lives, how do we start to make progress to get out of that? We strategize. Together we work on the approach that is right for your unique situation, your personality, your lifestyle, your team and business.
This is where the fun starts! We’ve worked together to define what it is you want. More free time, a loving relationship, balance, a career move, a cultural shift in your organisation, improved performance in your team…the list of what human beings want to create in their lives is endless! Together with you, we design the practices, new ways of doing and initiatives that are tailor-made for your circumstances.
