What if the ways you think about yourself, the world and everyone in it were the human equivalent of your own internal 'operating system'?
What if you could upgrade that operating system, evolving it as radically now as you did as a child? You'd suddenly find it easier to:
Achieve better outcomes with a lot less effort
Find opportunities in fiendishly complex problems
Juggle stakeholders' diverse, evolving needs
Take relationships to a whole new level
Navigate dilemmas and polarising issues
Adapt, evolve and progress in whatever ways you find most meaningful
Upgrade is a practical manual for revolutionising the way you look at yourself, your work and the people around you. Not only that, it'll help you trigger the same kind of step-change in others.
