Some individuals are highly motivated to tackle their problems, to better their lives, and others are not remotely interested in change, and may in fact be resistant to it. Joseph Prochaska and Richard DiClemntene, two American psychologists have devised a framework which is normally known as Cycle of Change. Individuals are described as being at one of the following stages of motivational state. You may wish to do your own assessment and identify where you stand in 'Finding a Balance in Your Life.' If you have been reflecting on your life, you may be ready to translate your thoughts into action.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
