The Power of Risk

Opportunity is knocking. Will you answer the door?

We face risks every day, in both our personal and professional lives. How we navigate those risks--whether we call them opportunity, adventure, or danger--determines our course in life. Instead of protecting yourself from chances that can deliver challenge, wealth, and accomplishment, learn to analyze opportunities with a fresh perspective, and implement strategies that will change the way you make decisions. Discover your personal Risk Quotient so you can broaden your understanding of your true risk profile.

Guided self-assessments and in-depth discussions guarantee a change in attitude, insights into your skill set, and, ultimately, personal success.

Reading The Power of Risk is an adventure. This fast-moving, thought-provoking tutorial will take anyone to the next level.
