"Coping with Change and Adversity: Staying Bitter or Getting Better"
Dr. James T. Reese
Keynote Speaker
Award-winning author, trainer, and motivational speaker, and CEO of James T. Reese and Associates, LLC., Dr. Reese is an expert at coping with change and adversity. This recipient of more than 3,000 awards works tirelessly to take his audiences to unimagined heights of self exploration.
Our perception of change reminds us that we see things as "we are",
not as"they are". Changing perceptions changes behaviors and allows us the
option of adopting positive attitudes. It is time to ask the questions: "Is my job a
passion, or just a pension?" "Do I want to stay bitter, or get better?" Learn the
Six Steps to Sanity™ and recapture control of your life.
You must hear him. Be there!
