Review of The Power to Change, How to Harness Change to Make it Work for You by Campbell Macpherson. Available from Kogan Page here.

How we work, the way we live, even how long we live are changing at such a breathtaking pace that only those who can embrace everything that’s going on and reinvent themselves will survive and thrive.

Yet change – even good change – is tough. Most of us feel utterly powerless when confronted by it, but we’re not. Learn to harness challenging situations and see the new opportunities with The Power to Change.

The Power to Change does more than simply enable you just to cope with change – it gives you the tools and approaches to embrace and celebrate change. Written by award-winning author, Campbell Macpherson, this book provides a genuinely unique approach to celebrating change that will resonate with readers, no matter what sort of change they have to confront. 

The Power to Change gives readers the permission to feel emotional and have doubts and fears about change. It provides a range of techniques to put change into perspective, and allows readers to embrace and prosper from the challenges it presents.

This is a very topical subject and this book is another addition to the growing collection that have recently been published. Key topics covered are the technology change, climate change and the burning platform. It is a thought-provoking book and might be the path to helping you to navigate a successful path forwards.

One slightly off tone was perhaps including anecdotes from how his own wife and children had successfully dealt with change, On one hand we get it, a good example you have seen up close, but on the other hand an offspring who didn’t get the exams grades and therefore the course they hoped for, and so had to change their plans felt perhaps slightly too mundane and a little too nepotistic for inclusion? Isn’t this just the sort of normal hassle that we all have to deal with on a daily basis?

Maybe we are just being a tough audience but examples from a little further afield might have been more dispassionate and less likely to prompt these thoughts?
