One of my favorite quotes comes from prolific American writer and Nobel Prize winner Pearl S. Buck – “You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea.”   It resonates with my core belief that change is ever-present and all-encompassing…and necessary for growth and transformation in any aspect of your life (career, relationships, community, etc.).

I have worked with Market Insights on key projects since 1995 and I’d say the majority of my work is about facilitating change – helping organizations anticipate it, adapt to it, and avoid the roadblocks that attempt to prevent change happening.  I absolutely love the work I do in strategic planning, marketing plan development, branding, e-marketing, messaging, executive coaching, etc.  And as I’ve embraced change in my own career it has presented opportunities for me as a published writer; and featured speaker and workshop presenter at conferences throughout the United States. 

If you want to grow…you have to be ready to change.  Are you ready?
