I recently finished reading The Happiest Man on Earth by Eddie Jaku. It was my second experience of Eddie's story. The first time, I listened to the audiobook. At the same time, we travelled around Australia in our caravan. This time, though, I held the book in my hands, saw the photographs, and looked at the faces of the people he was talking about.

So much of what we teach isn't actually about changing the person in front of you. It is about looking at how you are perceiving what is happening, how you are creating meaning around it, and then asking yourself one simple question: Could there be another alternative?

When life is good, the team is performing, the business is growing, and things feel stable, the mere suggestion of change can trigger genuine anxiety. Yet when things are difficult, performance is declining, culture is suffering, and the team feels stuck, change is the very thing everyone is quietly craving.
