IF CHANGE IS ALL THERE IS, CHOICE IS ALL YOU'VE GOT! is a collection of social metaphors based on Power's recollections & life. Power owns a consulting firm that focuses on change management, implementing TQM, & training. From the rural South, she takes the "porch talk" of her youth & translates it into personal truths which are then connected to creativity, logic, & purpose. She explores types of change, resistance to change, how people would rather suffer than change, & ways change can be embraced. Her original, down-home style reinforces the belief that empowerment follows making choices consciously. While expressions such as "nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs" & "as important as a duck poot in a whirlwind" are scattered throughout the personal vignettes about change & choice, Power's intelligence, wit & humor are never obscured. "This book is a joy to read. Its universal wisdom appeals to readers of many backgrounds."--SIDRAN FOUNDATION.
