Make the Adjustment: Finding the Courage to Embark on Your Own Journey of Transformational Change

I'm the author of a book about how embracing change and how making the necessary adjustments can enable anyone to achieve extraordinary things. More than just a catchphrase, Make the Adjustment is my compass for life.

I was inspired to write Make the Adjustment after three decades spending time with and observing the top 1% of business professionals and athletes around the world. I wanted to document the algorithm of how the best of the best achieve great things by adapting to change, having relentless persistence, and consistently bounce back from setbacks.

Make the Adjustment is not only intended to help someone who wants to climb the corporate ladder, but also the C-Suite executive who is stuck in a rut, struggling to grow their company, and unable explain how they got there. I'm writing this for the person who somehow lost themselves and don't know what to do next.

In this book, I present you with a proven algorithm to improve your outcomes. My hope is that you will feel reborn and invigorated!

Part 1 frames my journey of self-discovery and self-improvement. During a career of more than thirty years in corporate boardrooms around the globe, as well as four years in professional baseball, I studied the most successful players, contributors, and leaders. Here I explain why self-awareness, improving one's emotional intelligence, and having an owner's mentality will help you understand why implementing change is so challenging.

Part 2 explains the competencies required to sustain any type of transformative change. I also dive deep into why having a high level of emotional intelligence and internal locus of control are foundational components of positive change.

Part 3 concludes with the last few but critical components of support you will need, as well as the mindset required in order to maintain and lose traction for your long-term change.

This is a non-fiction book, partly a memoir and mostly motivational. This book will speak to anyone in business or athletics, especially those who are looking to implement change and find the courage and the process to execute positive change in their personal or professional life.
