In preparation for my upcoming appearance on “The Change Zone” (www.changezonetalk.com) with Co-Hosts Gail McDonald and Susan Sneath.
I was jotting down some notes on my recent experience with life-altering change. By recent, I mean the past 10+ years. Yes, change, especially change of the life-altering kind, takes a lot of time and effort (a.k.a. WORK).
I tried to summarize a bit of my journey below. Kind of an introduction of me and some of my changes on a few different fronts. Feel free to take a read …And feel free to join us on Monday March 007 at 2PM EST. The episode is entitled Play to YOUR YOU!
=================================================================
Dave is a Mid-Life Entrepreneur. He is in the People Development & Self-Change Management business.
After 30+ years in the Corporate World.
Which included almost 20 years in the Consulting Function at Deloitte, The largest professional services firm in the world.
Which also included a bout with clinical Depression. A battle with obesity. A period of almost complete social isolation. And a foray into the world of functional alcoholism.
Dave decided, at the age of 50, and a recently single co-parent with two pre-teenage children, whom he loved so, so much, to start his own business for the first time ever.
Six years later, he is still at it. Quite the change.
More like TRANSFORMATION.
A Transformation in Lifestyle. He went from a Six-Figure Salary to a Zero-Figure salary, and very quickly. He eventually went from living in a four-floor home to living in a four-room home.
A Transformation on the Career and then Business front. From Accounting and Consulting to Coaching and Storytelling. From writing management reports to writing books. From presenting results and findings to management, to presenting his thoughts and feelings on People and Self-Change Management and Relationships, especially relationships of the Romantic kind ??.
And last, but certainly not the least.
A Transformation in him. More like, a lot of small changes, that have made a huge difference. It took him a lot of time and a lot of effort (a.k.a. WORK, and most of that WORK on himself).
In his first Book MONDAYS don’t have to SUCK! He referred to this combination of changes as “One man’s unintentional journey of life-altering self-transformation”
In hindsight, he would have added “mid-life” between the “life-altering” and “self-transformation” parts of that sentence. And in hindsight, he now believes, that he did not actually go through a life-altering self transformation. He did not transform into someone different, nor someone that he was not.
He self-transformed back into WHO he was. The real him!
Somehow, he had gotten lost along his way. Somehow, he had gotten lost in the crowd and all of the hustle and bustle of life.
But now, he believes, that he is back on track. A track that is so much more aligned with WHO he is, And what makes him tick!

Not only is he grateful for having had the courage to keep moving forward and doing the WORK needed to adjust the wind in his sails.
He is so, so grateful to those who stood by him. To those who supported him and encouraged him along his way.
Especially his two beautiful children, Shayne and Emily, who were always there with him along his way. They were always there with him, even when he had socially isolated himself from everyone, including himself.
They were there for him. And they still are.?And so is he now, once again. He is there for them and for himself. And thanks to all of that WORK, he is feeling stronger and healthier than ever.
