What would your life be like if you achieved something remarkable, beyond what you dreamed possible? Are you struggling to make small changes that would create a huge difference in your world? The tiny, seemingly insignificant choices we make every day determine our actions and shape our life, yet many people wait for circumstances to dictate their destiny. After reading this powerful story, you'll realise you can - at any time - choose to disrupt your own life. Michael McKeogh's life took a shocking turn in 2010 when he narrowly survived an accident that left him wheelchair-bound. Everything changed; sporting opportunities, business success, even friendships. But few people factored in Mike's determination to not only walk but excel in whatever came next. His journey from trauma patient to international sporting medalist is proof of the potent combination of clear goals, deliberate choices and daily actions. As well as sharing Mike's experience as his partner, Neryl East is a Certified Speaking Professional and Amazon best-selling author.

Successfully managing a change initiative is no simple feat, regardless of the size of the firm - distilling the process of change into a workforce takes careful planning and support. Change is stressful and difficult for people to process and accept, as we often cling to what we know. This is especially true of lawyers, who are notoriously averse to change. However, the legal sector has begun to rapidly transform - and the firms that don't change with it are going to struggle to stay relevant. In these turbulent times for firms, change initiatives must be properly managed to ensure the whole firm can successfully shift to the new norm and stick to it. Without the proper support and management, a firm runs the risks of alienating their workforce - who will not take well to sudden and imposed change. Managing Legal Change Initiatives looks to illustrate the best methods of introducing and managing change in a sector that is known for being adverse to it. The book highlights the critical obstacles and pitfalls that law firms will face during transitional periods, and outlines some of the best methods of approaching organizational change; from building a change framework to follow, to encouraging a shift in partner behavior through the compensation strategy. This new book also explores why change is so difficult for individuals - with discussion of the neuroscience behind change, and the role of emotional intelligence in leaders to help garner a transformation. With the disruptions to legal services predicted to continue for some time, it will be those firms who adapt, put into place, and act upon a change management strategy that will be the ones capitalize on changes to come.
