It's Not Your Father's World Today

About This Webinar

This webinar will discuss the differences between the way it is, the way we remember and the way we think it should be. The good, bad and ugly of perception will be discussed in this webinar. That was then, this is now. In today’s world things are different. Not better or worse just DIFFERENT. If you don’t like different you are probably not going to be happy. People are different today. I wasn’t brought up in this environment. We crashed into it, and I rejected it. Increased stress, loss of patience, headaches, chest pain and possibly increase in pulse rate are signs that you are having a difficult time dealing with the day to day issues.
