Manage episode 460387160 series 3586142
Adapting to change is difficult. Change is all around us, but we are most comfortable when things remain constant. Today’s episode of Never in Reverse is all about change – how to prepare for it, how to adapt when it is happening, and how to make change a part of your culture.
Jeremy and Doug discuss change and adaptation at work and at home. At work, Jeremy is a leader who allows for adaptation in his organization – in fact, he is constantly pushing change. He also encourages his teams to present changes and strategies whenever they see room to improve. Jeremy and Doug also discuss making personal changes to be better husbands, better fathers, and better versions of themselves.
