A book was recently highly recommended to me. I found it to be a valuable resource. The title is Influencer: The Power to Change Anything from the authors of Crucial Conversations (Patterson, Grenny, Maxfield, McMillan, and Switzler). They state, “A few behaviors can drive a lot of change” (Pg.23). I am committed to taking time over the upcoming recess and reflecting on how to figure out what few but key and influential behaviors can help me to take on some of the things that seem to dominate my worries. I hope that each of you will give yourself the gift of reflection and do the same. With that in mind, please know that we at MIEM are committed to helping you to continue your professional and personal growth efforts. We are here to help you to be better prepared to change things that seem unchangeable as well as keeping you moving forward and staying healthy! 2009 will bring many challenges. We hope it will also be a year full of success and joy!
