Since 2002, I have shared the Managing Thoughtprocess with hundreds of groups throughout North America as a service to Vistage International, also known as TEC, the preeminent international organization that supports the personal and professional development of CEOs and key executives. Participants in these workshops have invited me to shareManaging Thoughtwith groups of couples, parents, teens, teachers, students, professionals, nonprofessionals, executives, nonexecutives, and salaried and hourly workers. These participants have written and phoned to tell me how Managing Thoughtprofoundly impacted their lives and their relationships with colleagues, direct reports, bosses, customers, friends, spouses, family members, and, most important, themselves. This book documents the principles ofManaging Thoughtand provides a system to apply to any aspect of your thinking and being, such as your life, relationships, family, career, role at work, company, department, vacation, a project, process, opportunity, problem, goal, strategy, or even a telephone call. This book is filled with information to help you increase your selfawareness and shape your thoughts to accomplish what you want in each moment and live the life you intend. You may find yourself wanting to implement everything immediately. You can relax, because you don’t have to. You can choose to practicejust one thing throughout the moments of your day, and experience a significant transformation in your work and life. Throughout the book, I point out eachjust one thingthat you can choose to practice.
