Over the past year I've met a lot of people and organizations who have been impacted by the economic downturn. It occurred to me that this current wave of change is very different from the changes we have faced in the past and we need a new model to deal with this change. After all, the cheese hasn't just been moved. It's been swept away by an economic tsunami. As a result I wrote The Shark and the Goldfish: Positive Ways to Thrive During Waves of Change. My hope is that this simple story, that can be read in an 45 minutes, will have a lasting impact on you and your team's thoughts, beliefs and actions. You'll also find discussion questions in the back of the book to help you and your team ride the wave of change together. In this spirit, I hope you'll read this book and share it with your colleagues, friends and children. Yes! Children can read this book too. My kids who are 11 and 9 loved it. Stay Positive!

A fable about overcoming adversity and fear from the bestselling author of The Energy Bus and Training Camp.

Now more than ever fear and uncertainty are becoming staples of daily life. During changing times, it’s easy to worry, give up, and let fear paralyze you. However, you have more control than you think you do, and how you handle adversity is your choice—the only choice that matters.

Many successful people and businesses have grown to prominence during even the worst recessions and downturns. These successful people and organizations all shared similar characteristics and took similar actions to thrive while others merely tried to survive. You can do the same.

In The Shark and The Goldfish, bestselling author Jon Gordon shares an inspiring fable about a goldfish who has always been fed, a nice shark who teaches him to find food and a wave of change that brings them together. In the process of finding food the Shark teaches the Goldfish the ultimate lesson—that the difference between a full belly and an empty stomach depends solely on your faith, beliefs, and actions.

In the face of adversity, this is a simple fable that reinforces a proven truth—you can’t control the events in your life. But you can control how you respond to them. You can allow the waves of change to crush you or you can learn to ride them to a successful future. Delightfully illustrated and packed with tips and strategies for thriving during tough times, The Shark and The Goldfish is a quick read that will have a life-long impact.
