Penny Ferguson's story is an amazing one. Abandoned as a baby, teased and bullied at school, emotionally and physically destroyed by not one, not two, but three abusive marriages, she found herself on the cusp of fifty, broke, alone, and in despair. Taking stock of her circumstances, she resolved to turn her life around, to break the patterns that had governed her life so far, and to stop wasting her life. In order to change her life, she had to change herself. Penny succeeded in her aims, and is now a successful and happy leadership and team building consultant. Over ten thousand people have attended training courses run by Penny Ferguson Ltd., with an amazing proportion of attendees attesting that they have experienced real change in their lives for the better as a direct result. Transform your life encapsulates the life-changing ideas Penny has passed on to people through her consultancy and training courses. It can inspire you to work out a vision for your personal and business life, and set out clearly an action plan to achieve it.
Realmente he tenido este libro por mucho tiempo, pero nunca me propuse a leerlo. Hasta ahora. El mensaje Del libro fue muy motivador y de verdad me hicieron pensar en como yo he estado viviendo mi vida. De verdad recomiendo este libro.
I purchased this free for my kindle a few months back because the title jumped out at me and the idea of transforming my life is an exciting concept!
I haven't read many self-help books and I was looking forward to trying one or dipping my toes in the water so to speak. To be honest I was first a little disappointed because about 60% of the book is more like a leadership or management tutorial. However I did find those parts quite interesting and hopefully it will help in my role as an RGN and as a father of two teenage boys( and hopefully one day as a multi award winning author!) It pretty much has a big emphasis on listening and encouraging others instead of simply trying to get your points across.
The rest of the book is full of helpful life tips such as positive thinking, finding out what you really want to do in life and even writing your own obituary! I havent wrote mine yet but I intend to (maybe today or tommorrow), hopefully before someone else does! Overall I found this book to be quite motivating and helpful in a constructive way and I am hoping to digest and develop some of its ideas for my own life. 'Transform Your Life' is built around 52 ideas with some bonus ideas at the end. For some reason one of these bonus ideas goes into a long discussion about growing your own vegetables which had me scratching my head and thinking I had started to read a different book by mistake!
This is an interesting read and hopefully it will help me to transform my life, only time will tell.
