"The Five Degree Principle is like having your own professional coach to improve your career; improve your life. A five degree shift seems so small, but i can produce mind-boggling, monumental results." - Scott Collins, EVP, Advertising Sales, AMC 7 WE tv at AMC Networks "Rarely is a business book a page-turner, but this one is an exception. I found myself ever wanting to know what happens next. Something in each chapter resonated with me." - Anne Jaques, Director, Global Consulting Knowledge Management, Deloitte LLP In coaching Fortune 100 executives, author Shannon Cassidy frequently observed that they intended to make drastic changes overnight. This strategy is a recipe for failure, fueling a new, erroneous belief that realizing these dreams requires a miracle. Cassidy successfully guided them through her effective strategy: that five degree shifts, as opposed to 180-degree turns are the keys to obtaining goals. In The Five Degree Principle, we journey though a compelling fable of struggling executive Lauren and her trusted coach Andrea. Andrea encourages Lauren to use actionable tools and effective, straightforward strategies to take on tough, interpersonal challenges, both at home and in her workplace, and creatively rewrite her life story. Together the two demonstrate the efficacy of making change in small increments, rather than in leaps and bounds. The five Degree Principle shows how to follow a step-by-step path to progress and substantive change. "In the Five Degree Principle, Ms. Cassidy shows us how to make incremental, small adjustments to our attitudes and thinking that provide a clearing; a thoughtful breathing space for us to powerfully, confidently move ahead in our lives with ease, one small but significant and sustainable step at a time. This little book will resonate with me for a long time." - Jacqueline M. Welch, SVP, Human Resources, Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.
