I am so happy to bring you this episode of the What’s Next! Podcast! with Katy Milkman!     THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… anyone wanting to make a change!    TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE… Do you need a fresh start? Do you need to make a change? Well, change is a big word…or it can be. So where do you start? What do you focus on? Katy Milkman is here to demystify change and make it a little less scary and a little more doable. Step one, according to Katy? Decide that you want to make a change. Simple enough, right? Once you’ve made the decision, you can get started. Get reflecting, listening, trying different things. You’ve probably learned a great deal about yourself during the last year and a half. What has it shown you? Which changes didn’t serve you and which changes have surprised you? Listen in on my discussion with Katy on change, habits, progress, and long-term goals.    WHAT  I  LOVE  MOST… Katy’s optimistic outlook on the change we are seeing and the changes we hope to make.    Running time: 30:07     Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani on social:  Facebook  Twitter  LinkedIn     Find Katy online:  Twitter  LinkedIn  Katy’s Website    How to Change Book
