Activating Your Ambition outlines a straightforward means to accomplishment by focusing on what it takes to effect behavioral change. It is a mindset and approach that helps you and those you influence make real and sustainable change. It is based on eight principles that provide the tools to overcome obstacles and reach new levels of achievement. It is a framework you can use over and over to develop new skills, stop bad habits, create new behaviors, and achieve new results. It is a practical approach that will give you everlasting insight into how to get out of your comfort zone and reach new levels of success that may have eluded you before.
The unique value of Activating Your Ambition is the how, not merely the what or the why of self-improvement. Rather than coming away merely informed or feeling entertained, you learn specifically how to make substantive and sustainable improvements in yourself and the people around you. It enables you to seize the opportunity for improvement that lies within you, in your work, in your home, in your place of worship, or wherever. Its proven principles and insights provide the practical means to reaching levels of performance that you might not have thought possible.
Activating Your Ambition is for employees who want to perform better in their jobs and make more money. It is for managers who want to become better coaches to their employees. It is for executives who want to become better leaders. It is for parents who want to raise better children. It is for spouses who want to improve their marriage. It is for athletes who want to spend more time on the winner’s podium. It is for anyone who wants to ensure the books they read, the seminars they attend, the initiatives they conceive, the plans they create, or the coaching they receive gets reliably applied and transformed into sustainable results. It is for anyone that wants to reliably turn their ambitions into realities.
