I've seen careers change direction, and accelerate, once a few decent continuous improvement skills have been learned and used.
Plus, the ideas I share in Making It Happen are quick to learn and apply. Every lesson has a walk through video and just takes a few minutes to review. I also include downloads to get you up and running with the ideas quickly.
