You've provided them wise counsel.”

careers through various challenges. It has an easy to grasp layout and
it’s well written. Any business person will find it indispensable. I
highly recommend it.”

“Adapt or Perish is an impressive breadth of topics
covered by knowledgeable industry experts sharing their insights, aha
moments and research. This is a must read for those facing transition and
more important for those managing people that have been through
transition. I appreciated the chapter on “Generation Trends” and was able
to relate it to personal, social and work situations giving me a new
perspective of how to better influence, motivate and build teams; for
example, the benefits of pairing generations within a team. The reference
list of supporting material is likewise impressive and adds credence to
the material presented in the book. It is unlikely I’ll read all of the
references and, after reading this book, likely won’t have to. Thank you
for this wonderful compilation in Adapt or Perish.”

capture the essence of what it means to survive dealing with job loss and
achieve ongoing success in life. I especially enjoyed the sections
referring to professional responsibility, motivating people and
resiliency. Furthermore, the personal references spoke to me such as ‘make
happy moments’ and ‘I’m going to be OK.’ Thank you team!”
Marilyn L. Burtt, MBA
“Change is
one characteristic that separates the good talent from the great talent.
As an executive recruiter, the companies I work with want people that can
adapt to change and do it quickly. The blend of the authors’ experiences
and coaching is valuable for all levels of an organization, including
CEOs. I will encourage the people I work with to read this book. The title
says it all.”

“So many ‘self-help’ books preach, ramble, and simply leave
us with a sense of having wasted our time.
Adapt or Perish

light and interesting. It is a book you can easily read in an afternoon
that might change your life forever. It features subject matter experts
who succinctly shared their expertise
and
provided tangible exercises, which showed me what well-developed thought
was given to this book.”
