Hope for frustrated idealists

Ideal for people who work in or own any size company and fear they have 'sold out' in order to earn a living wage. McConnell demonstrates in humorous yet logical sequences how one can influence a corporate environment or control one's own decisions and settings with cooperative and socially responsible attitudes and more importantly, actions. Her short quizzes cut right to the issues and actual behaviors, leaving one with hope and even an action plan for becoming a "change activist."

Bringing Passion to Change

By putting the heart into business everyone wins. According to Carmel change is not working in many companies because of the lack of passion. Change Activists make things happen because they careCarmel creates a compelling case for becoming a Change Activist. This benefits the individual, the business and society as a whole. She learnt her activist skills at the Greenham Common US Air Base in the UK and has successfully these skills into the business worldThe free flowing style is refreshing. And her case is backed up by many interviews with the likes of Anita Roddick of Body Shop fameI've recommended this to my website members and they've told me that it has helped them to - take control of their lives, turn up the volumen on what they really care about, and above all - make things happen.Definitely different and definitely recommended
