Change Happens

"There’s lots of quotes that say 70% of change fails. Now, whether it’s 70% or 80% or 50%, we know a lot of our change efforts fail because we’re trying to communicate and trying to lead change through logic, and again, logic just informs us, it doesn’t actually change our behaviour or influence us to do something different or feel something different."

"The concept of impossible was one that should be pretty much rejected. I don't like the word. So I always tell people, if I was the Prime Minister of Australia, I would ban the use of the word impossible. My little take on it is that if you want to use the word, you must include a time clause in the same sentence."
