Episode Description
One of the ways to become an expert at something is to learn from our mistakes. I admit that I have made mistakes as a change manager, especially since I have been one for almost 15 years!! I love where I am at now and I love that I am able to share the mistakes I have made so you can learn from them. I also have watched others make mistakes, so I will share those with you too; those mistakes (by-the-way) I have promised myself I will never make. I often say to myself “Geesh, that really did not work!!” and “Why Not!”; mostly, we are learn exactly how to do things, but sometimes it is easier to learn the couple of ways how NOT instead. Join me to learn mistakes to avoid making yourself!!
