One thing is for certain: things change, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Even the most solid of relationships, financial conditions, and corporate stability undergo change that can shock everyone involved.
I have the privilege to work with a good many top executives in my success coaching practice, and one sentiment I hear more and more is “I can’t believe it; I never expected this to happen to me; I wasn’t prepared for it.” What I am suggesting to you is, expect the unexpected. Be ready for change in all the ways you can. That is the cornerstone of persistent adaptability.
