Coming out of the crisis successfully requires three fundamental factors: proper anticipation, conscious risk taking, and high coordination, more than ever. The question becomes: who can anticipate and plan with you effectively? And can you, together, analyze at deeper levels than usual, how to orchestrate the process of going back to a new world.
Apprendre à devenir conscient de vos décisions inconscientes et de votre sabotage intérieur ne vous apportera rien de moins que de changer votre vie.
