Growth starts with change. If you want to do more in your life, you must embrace change.

According to April Rinne, ‘When you learn to run slower, you begin to crave a calmer pace. Silence becomes a friend.’

‘When you learn to see what’s invisible, you discover marvelous new universes of opportunity– and that the old script made you blind to things you genuinely care about.’

‘When you learn to get lost, you begin to feel delight when things don’t go according to plan, when plans change, or when you have no cue what will happen next.’

‘When you learn to start with trust, you yearn for more trust. You’re better equipped to earn trust and allow other’s trustworthiness to shine through.’

‘When you know your ‘enough,’ you begin living in abundance and take better care of yourself and others.’

‘When you learn to create a portfolio career, you immediately stop seeing work merely ‘as having (or getting) a job’ You no longer fret about losing a job and can position yourself confidently towards the future of work.’

When you learn to be fully, wholeheartedly human, your relationships with other people ( and your mental health, and your sleep) improve. You’re finally able to recaliberate your relationship with technology too.’

‘When you learn to let go of the future, you find it looks brighter than ever.’

‘No one except you can write your new script, nor can you write anyone else’s script for them.’

‘Change is your norm.’

‘Whenever you are preparing to speak to individuals about yourself and your career or when you are just giving them the chance to get to know you, do your homework as early as possible.

‘Always make sure that your development plan is tied to the business outcomes of your organization. They should always be measurable for the current year.’
