Life in the fast lane was yesterday. Today, we face the challenge of learning to live and work in digital time. Not only is the amount of change we must cope with growing exponentially, the rate of change is speeding up. This unprecedented transformation offers unprecedented opportunities, but few people and even fewer organizations are equipped to take advantage of it. We don't know how to operate, let alone thrive, at warp speed, and the resulting stress is enormous. Our personal lives are in turmoil. There never seems to be enough time, money, or energy. Most marriages still end in divorce, kids act out in dangerous ways, and parents feel increasingly frustrated and exhausted. Stress-related illnesses are epidemic: Many of us, including children, live with attention disorders, antidepressants are common as aspirin, and we are plagued by a gnawing sense of purposelessness. At work, we are expected to do more with less and prove ourselves on a daily basis. Managers struggle to cope with new technologies, shifting markets, cutthroat competition, shrinking budgets, and employees who are neither loyal nor engaged.Get Over It and Get On With It offers insight into the status quo and a proven-effective approach to change-positive, self-directed change.

Author Biography:
Jim Madrid For three decades, Jim Madrid has been helping people and organizations achieve higher levels of success. He began his career with retail giant Nordstrom and later went on to work with an international corporate training institute, where he became a top trainer presenter. Within a decade, he had gained an extensive education in behavioral cognitive psychology and an impressive list of successful clients. Then, working with experts in the field, including Dr. Nathanial Branden, he perfected a system of personal-development training that was far superior to anything he had seen used in the corporate environment. That system became The Ten Principles of Entelechy and the company he built around it is Entelechy Training & Development. Around the U.S. and in Europe, Jim personally delivers Entelechy's education, helping corporate and community leaders shape and realize a compelling vision for their company's future. One of the most important results of this work is that it equips people to deal constructively with rapid, unpredictable change. Jim communicates so effectively because he is able to translate complex psychological principles into language everyone understands. He uses examples that come not just from laboratories or textbooks, but from real life. And, perhaps most importantly, he lives what he teaches. Joyce Quick Author of numerous articles and more than 1,000 nationally syndicated radio shows, Joyce Quick is co-author of Personal Coaching for Results: How to Mentor and Inspire Others to Amazing Growth: 60 Second BluesBusters, and the Entelechy Journal. Joyce is also a clinical social worker with a family and individual therapy and personal coaching practice in Seattle, Washington. She and Jim have been friends, collaborators and colleagues for more than a decade.
