Shift your perspective,
By Brian Schwartz (Fort Collins, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mastering Change in the Midst of Chaos (Paperback)
The definitive handbook on dealing with change! Lord Nelson has created an essential handbook to coping with one thing in life that can not be managed no matter how hard we might try, and that's change. The rate at which change occurs is accelerating day by day and adopting Larry's philosophy will no doubt serve the many who are fortunate to learn it. In it, he describes a highly effective methodology he refers to as the '3-Filters'; a system that I've found to be an extremely powerful way to shift your perspective. I highly recommend ' Mastering Change in the Midst of Chaos ', and after reading it, I'm sure you will to. I also suggest you check out Larry's award winning website at [...] - he keeps a pulse on the fast moving Colorado business scene better than anyone else.
