NF In my continuing work goal of 40 hours of professional development goal of this year, I picked up this book and devoured it Triggers starts with saying to not expect anything innovative. The theme is more about returning to basics over and over and over. Some people joke about my numerous spreadsheets. I have a spreadsheet for documenting sleep, movies watched, restaurants , birthdays/anniversaries, and neighbors. He gave me ideas on how to improve on them. He also expounded on the idea of "good enough". For a period in my life, I shouted "Good enough is not good enough." Nowadays, good enough is plenty good enough for a good amount of things. And this book is more than just good enough. I'd like to think that after reading that I'm a better person and I'm already implementing some of his ideas in my own life. Marshall Goldsmith’s book, Triggers: Creating Behavior That Lasts--Becoming the Person You Want to Be is about adult behavioral change. Frankly, I could use some of that right now. 2019 was not a great year for me and I could use some attitude adjustment. As Goldsmith noted, “A trigger is any stimulus that reshapes our thoughts and actions” (Goldsmith, 2015, p. xv). Too many things are triggering me and I need to regain control. I think this book can help me. Read more no reviews | add a review

In business, the right behaviours matter. But getting it right is tricky. Even when we acknowledge the need to change what we do and how we do it, life has a habit of getting in the way, upsetting even the best-laid plans. And just how do we manage those situations that can provoke even the most rational among us into behaving in ways we would rather forget? Triggers confronts head-on the challenges of behaviour and change, looking at the external factors (or 'triggers') - both negative and positive - that affect our behaviours, our awareness of when we need to change, our willingness (or otherwise) to do so and our ability to see the change through. Drawing on his unparalleled experience as an international executive educator and coach, Marshall Goldsmith invites us to understand how our own beliefs and the environments in which we operate can trigger negative behaviours, or a resistance to the need to change. But he also offers up some simple, practical advice to help us navigate the negative and make the most of the triggers that will help us to sustain positive change. No library descriptions found. |
