Progress

Dean Lindsay is a best-selling author of The Progress Challenge and Cracking the Networking Code.  This keynote speaker spotlighted as outstanding by the International Association of Speakers Bureaus was our recent Sterling Bank Women's Business Initiative speaker. 

To ensure our continued success, Dean encourages us to deal with inevitable change by embracing progress.  It is as natural to resist change as it is to embrace progress.  He reminds us that all progress is change, but not all change is progress. Though we hear frequently about change management, what people are really seeking is to have their progress led. 

Everything we do has perceived meaning and consequences. Dean categorizes these in his Six Ps of Progress:

• Peace of Mind
• Pleasure
• Profit
• Prestige
• Pain Avoidance
• Power

Dean's three progress action steps are inspired by the work of Dr. Viktor Frankl:

• Harness the Freedom of Choice
• Take Responsibility for Actions
• Drive Actions by Understanding Goals and Strengths

Dean reminds us that "Change is inevitable, progress is a choice."
