First you must develop a changemaker mindset. Whether your goal is to lead a self-determined life, position your company for the future, or be a successful part of a team, external change starts with internal transformation.

Learn from a change management expert. Nicknamed Mr. Change by his clients, German bestselling author, global keynote speaker, and economist Ilja Grzeskowitz inspires people to develop a changemaker mindset and supports organizations to establish a change culture based on purpose, diversity, and strong values. He regularly travels the world to research future trends and developments in the field of change management.

Personal development and relationships are key to success. In a time when workplaces are becoming more digital and more automated, our mindsets and our personal relationships determine whether we succeed in tomorrow's markets. We all have one shot to make a lasting impact. Innovators with the changemaker mindset know how to spot that opportunity when it comes and make it matter.

The human success factor. In coming years, the human success factor will determine winners and losers. All business adventures start with a focus on the self. When you know who you are and develop a deep sense of confidence in yourself, you'll have the flexibility to roll with the punches and succeed.

With The Changemaker Mindset, you'll master the three Ps of personal development:

• Purpose. Reconsider what motivates you and find your non-negotiable core principles.
• People. Build a strong inner circle of peers, because nobody wins alone.
• Persistence. Develop the confidence to take action, navigate setbacks, and implement change.
