Courage.  The root of the word courage is “cor” which is the Latin word for heart.  My favorite author, Brene Brown talks about how courage used to mean, “to speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.”

I didn’t realize putting my book proposal out into the world would give people the courage to speak their truth.  Over the last week, you’ve been brave and shared with me the life changes that have great meaning to you.  Someone even said to me, “Liesl-my sister needs this book NOW.  Like right now.”

This of course got me thinking (I do a lot of that for those who don’t know me).  There’s a need for people to go deeper on this topic now.  There are changes out there you’re ready to start pursuing.

I had a number of businesses who pitched in and decided to sponsor a “Ready for Change” giveaway.  For every copy of Change Deviants: The exit strategy to playing it safe you purchase this week (March 21-28), you will be eligible for one entry into the “Ready for Change” giveaway.  

There is a no purchase necessary option as well, so like & visit my Facebook page for details.

The winner will be drawn next Friday, March 29 on Facebook Live and will be notified that day.
