Sometimes we let our work, relationships and personal wellness stay in automatic. Although this feels safe and comfortable, it can leave us passively accepting mediocrity. Our lack of control over unforeseen circumstances can cause negative consequences. How do we keep control in the driver’s seat, where it belongs? How can we make a habit of changing adverse conditions into opportunities? Join Wanda Grew-Jasken, a professional trainer, human resources consultant and owner of EDGE Consulting, for a discussion about harnessing the potential that lies within the conditions of your day.
