Why Retrain? To keep top-of-the-mind awareness of learning, improving, growing, and transforming.
Considering that I am a professional speaker and trainer, this is a fun chapter for me to write. If people did not need ongoing growth, development, motivation, and education, my career would dissolve. However, people, worldwide, are in continuous need of personal and professional enlightenment and direction to live their best lives.
Whether you are seeking to achieve peace and harmony, learn a new technology to do your work faster, or design a strategy to blow your competitors out of the water, retraining is a pivotal way to strengthen your knowledge and realize your goals.
“There isn’t anything that isn’t made easier through constant familiarity and training. Through training we can change; we can transform ourselves.”

When children are learning how to walk, we don’t criticize them when they fall down. We encourage them to get back up and try again. Separate yourself from judgment and condemnation. Instead, give yourself permission to be a beginner again—and feel okay to begin again. If at first you fall, get back up and keep trying.
