5. To Thrive in a Project Environment - APM
“Many people see a project as moving
from A to B. It’s a technical thing, with
processes to follow. What I have learned
is that projects will always require
some form of behavioural change. Project
managers will always need people to
do something differently. If project
managers haven’t experienced personal
change through a tool like coaching, they
will have very little empathy with the
human side of change.”

6. To Thrive as an Employee in the Workplace
Thriving at work is all about vitality and
learning. People who are thriving at work feel
energized on the job. They also feel that they
are constantly learning and applying their new
knowledge. Thriving employees are motivated
by their work and experience great personal
growth on the job.
Clearly, it feels great to be thriving.

7. “While many would be leaders seek to rule a company, market or nation,
the real work is in ruling the mind. It is easier to boss other people than
master your life. Worldly power is a cheap trinket compared to spiritual
mastery. Only those who rule their own consciousness are fit to lead
others, because they have learned to lead themselves”
Alan Cohen

8. We don’t get what we want,
