Content preview from Smart Work

Thank you for reading Smart Work. I hope it has provided some insights into how you can adapt to the challenges of the 21st century workplace.

If you would like to increase your chances of making a real behavioural change, just head to the Smart Work website to access some great implementation resources, including videos, tutorials and whitepapers. Enjoy!

www.smartworkbook.com

Write me a note or leave me a comment under one of the videos — I would love to hear about your progress implementing the system.

When I am not writing books (which is most of the time), I work with organisations to help their people to implement the concepts outlined in Smart Work. If you feel that one of our speaking, training or coaching offerings could help your team, get in touch and let's have a conversation!

Feel free to reach out to me on my website www.dermotcrowley.com.au or send me an email at dermot.crowley@adapttraining.com.au.

Until next time . . .
