	Overview
	·          We all believe that change is inevitable – or do we? In a world where nothing remains constant for very long, business needs to adapt or get left behind. Karl Smith, internationally acclaimed networked and author, will inspire, educate and motivate guests to not only identify necessary changes but implement them. Warned of impending upheaval, most entrepreneurs and other business owners still pursue business as usual. Yet, business as usual is dangerous in an environment that has become for all practical purposes, permanently convulsive. Change will affect every aspect of life. Changes in the work place and changes on a personal level will continue to swirl around us from every direction. How we cope, respond and advance with these changes will determine our future success. As the worldwide market for nearly everything changes, is your business or career strategy evolving to capitalize on the new market dynamics? ·
