This blog will share key ideas from the book and reinvention and Top Performers coaching world as we go forward.

In today’s business world, we are always reinventing. Whereas, change is opportunity has been a constant theme in the past two decades, now the need to better understand yourself and reposition your company, i.e. to reinvent, is paramount to success in your business, your career or your working life.

o Focuses on assessing yourself, your Personal History, your Values, and your Risk Profile

o Includes targeted ideas presented in a different, yet concise way from unique personal knowledge gained from 12+ years as an executive coach and 30+ years as a multiple business owner

o Offers the 1628 theory - when you reinvent in your career you go back to what you were naturally passionate about in high school, college, your first and second job ( and there are related exercises)
