The Life Perspective Inventory™ (LPI) provides a snapshot of our 3-Filters™ while capturing two important pieces of information. The first is our filter bias and it gives us an indication of how we decide and what motivates us. The second piece of information the LPI captures is our role preference in each of three dimensions or environments. Our role preferences indicate what we like to do or are apt to do best in given circumstances. The LPI is a valuable and effective assessment tool. Your LPI will help you understand both. You too can join the ranks of the tens of thousands, from scores of countries, who have benefited from the 3-Filters TechnologyTM. To receive a sample of the LPI, Request by email and include your name and email address. It's free, confidential and fascinating. More information here http://www.icrint.com/

What others are saying about Mastering Change

Brad Feld, Managing Director, Foundry Group www.foundrygroup.com
“From the first time I met Larry, about a decade ago, I knew he was a special guy. I treasure my relationship with him (and Pat). Lord Nelson is always entertaining, thoughtful, and generous and has a style all of his own. He’s never without a digital device to record sound and has his camera nearby to capture every moment. The Colorado tech scene would not be the same without Larry, Pat and w3w3.com.”

Heidi Roizen, Founder, Skinny Songs www.skinnysongs.com
"Intellectually everyone knows change, in fact, constant change is inevitable. As Larry states, some changes are out of our control and all we can do is deal with them; other changes we can manage; and others are in our control and we can capitalize on them by being proactive. Larry’s advice for Mastering Change is hands-on and real-world."

Mark Weakley, Managing Partner, Holme Roberts & Owen www.hro.com "Mastering Change: Challenges, Choices and Champions could only have been written by Larry Nelson. His background, insight and heart coalesce in this important guide to helping organizations, teams and individuals navigate the inevitable forces of change. Larry’s work shows that, with the right tools, change is not a barrier but an opportunity to succeed."

Lucinda Sanders, CEO and Founder of the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) www.ncwit.org
"Larry has such broad business experience - he's seen everything and been almost everywhere. This book reflects his own personal wisdom on surviving in the business world, delivered in a way only Larry could do: pragmatic, concise, and humorous. Change is certain, and this book helps us understand its creative power."

Kenneth Morse, Senior Lecturer and Managing Director, MIT Entrepreneurship Center www.entrepreneurship.mit.edu/staff.php
"Larry’s approach to Mastering Change is thought provoking, and important reading for entrepreneurs and leaders. Providing access to some of the great minds, or 'Change Champions' as Larry calls them, complements his 'how to' steps."

Curt W. Coffman, Founder, Curt Coffman Consulting www.curtcoffman.com Co-Author, First Break all the Rules, What the World’s Greatest Managers do Differently (Simon and Schuster),
"Growth is impossible without change. As Larry points out, the most effective way to manage change is to create it. Visionary leaders dream about and anticipate the future, but they do not try and predict it! Trying to forecast change only interrupts and confuses. Mastering change allows for new natural alignment and unprecedented growth and success."

566_ Ground Swell of Changes We are Facing Today Part 1 of 2
Greg & Yvonne Lynott, Lynott & Associates Public Relations enclosure-voice Of the many things Larry identified are patterns that occur. Some dissipate others grow. He has focused on those that are continually occurring and growing. Some of them are easy to see and some are a little more challenging. He has identified five patterns or ‘ground swells’ of change that have been occurring and then what will likely be coming down the pike. The green industry, for instance, must become strategic, sustainable and scalable. Larry Nelson, author, Mastering Change; The Challenges, Choices and ChampionsWhat we’ve had so far are discussions of the different things that have happened, the things that are happening and the needs we have. Today when people hear ‘green industry’, they think of energy generation, sources to recycling. Well it’s much more than that. A second ground swell of change Larry points to is about people and an inner need to give back to their community, and to give of themselves. “We have so many people today, even in these turbulent economic times that have made a great amount of money and they want to give back. So what we have is a growing opportunity, it’s called ‘social entrepreneurship’.” Having been a long time entrepreneur (with the arrows to prove it), Larry talks about the current landscape and what may be coming your way with Yvonne and Greg Lynott as they delve into the reasons for Larry's latest book.

569_ Ground Swell of Changes We are Facing Today - Part 2
Larry Nelson, author, Managing Change: Challenges, Choices and Champions enclosure-voice The third ground swell of change is about the entreprenuerial explosion. The entrepreneural wave grows in the wake of company closures. Larry’s latest book Mastering Change, Challenges, Choices and Champions addresses this issue along with a 'how to' change process that works with all types of organizations. Then there's the 'social media phenomenon, the forth ground swell of change. Larry said, "I saw and felt it coming. We were very early in the Internet beginning our online radio program in 1998. But now what’s happening, it’s not a revolution, but it is coming at warp speed. I confess resistance, not growing Greg & Yvonne Lynott of Lynott Associates Public Relationsup with computers like the young people today. To them this is natural, second nature to them, this is the way they communicate, but they’re very fickle so, what is big today may not be big tomorrow. Now companies are getting into it. With the technology today, it makes it very easy for a company to integrate video on their website. There is a long list now, LinkedIn, YouTube, FaceBook, Twitter, Med.ium, Lejit and one of the resources I go to frequently is Brad Feld’s Blog, Feld.com." Greg and Yvonne Lynott, Lynott & Associates Public Relations continue with Larry as they discuss the ground swell of changes we are facing today. Larry’s latest book Mastering Change, Challenges, Choices and Champions addresses these issues with a 'how to' change process that works with all types of organizations. The fifth ground swell revolves around people. Listen to this discussion as Larry points out that people want to be known for who they are and not as an X, Y, Z or Baby Boomer
