Come with the Change

When Chris Howard (International Speaker and Coach) was in South Africa teaching his 'Breakthrough to Success' at CIDA University, he came across a young girl from a remote village who had to overcome a number of difficulties in order to support her whole family. She told Chris "I realised that if I wanted my future to be different, I had to come with the change"!

Something inside this girl matured her thinking beyond her years to trigger the realisation that if her World was going to be better it had to be different and that meant she had to start thinking differently about her situation. The change had to come from within, from her heart and mind.

You don't need to be an underprivileged girl living in South Africa to experience this epiphany or indeed think that you are any different in your thinking process when it comes to embracing change.

Every organisation from the local shop to the global asset rich company will take the change journey through its people. How those people change, one person at a time, will determine the overall success and culture that the organisation desires. The people are the organisation.

The young girl is now a young woman, a graduate of the Branson Business School and working in the financial sector. As would be expected she now contributes to her community in many ways.

If you want to change, start with your Self....come with the change!
