May 28th Journey to Self: Change - The other dirty word?
——-———–Show Information——————-
What comes to mind when you hear the word change? Are you fearful? Excited? Does you blood run cold or do you hear yourself saying, “I like things just the way they are.”? Is “change”, the other dirty word?
Most of us find change hard. Not necessarily because we do not want to change but because it is sailing into the unknown. Who knows what is going to be around the next bend in the road? We are most likely to rail against changes that are going to have an adverse effect on our lives.
The week on the show we will be talking about change. In our changing world it is necessary for us to change and adapt - so why is it so hard for us to actually take the steps to change? This week my guest Paula Klee Parish will join me to talk about change in our lives, our world, and our society.

Paula is a wife, mother, grandmother, and educator is a New York State Certified Senior Instructor and facilitator for “The Training Source” Career Development Programs and Services Division, and the “Continuing Occupational Education” Business Division of Western Suffolk Board Of Cooperative Educational Services (WSBOCES).

Ms. Parish’s work reflects her extensive national and international travels and studies in the behavioral sciences.
For more than 30 years, Paula has held support through executive level positions in industry, namely Director of Service/Quality, General Manager, and Vice President of Operations for small to multi-billion dollar corporations in the fields of Banking, Manufacturing, Distribution, and Service on Long Island. She formally transitioned into the field of training in 1994, and in 1996 founded Performance Solutions, Inc.
