Change

Can’t live with it – can’t live without it.Think of the five major changes in your own life

in the last five yearsHow many of them were intentional?How may of them were a forced response?How many of them were unavoidable?

Change over time is a consistent factor in human experience

You can changeAnd only you can change

To do this:You need to live in your own “house”

Rebalancing “work”

What does your work mean to you?Reason for my existencePleasant way to generate incomeDaily social eventProvides “another place” Strictly instrumental – pays the bills

Personal requirement changes over time

Rebalancing “work”

Looking into the future:Can your current work model continue?Do you want to change it?If so in what direction?Is that be possible in the current workplaceCould you find it somewhere else?
