Changing Yourself and Your Reputation [Paperback]

This book offers help in making changes--and in getting people to notice them. Changing is hard work. One part of that work is the change itself. You must decide to change and then make the change happen. That in itself is a big accomplishment. But what if you're doing all that work and making significant changes--and no one notices? It can be very discouraging! But take heart! This book shows you how to move on with the second part of the work, the follow-through: getting people to notice that you are changing.7 A Two-Part Process
