Hello, my name is Carl Ferguson. I am from London. I am thirty-six years old. I am married
with no kids. I am a sales representative in a telecom company. I am a very determined
and organized person. I like books and sports cars. I also love to ride horses. I travel a lot
during the week, but on the weekends I stay home with my wife, Sally. My dream? I want
to open a small hotel in Northern Scotland—near the mountains, very selective, with

In 2010, when I finished my M.B.A. in Denver, I quickly got a job at the New York Stock Exchange.
I thought that was my chance: Country boy makes his way to the big city. Three years later, my
stress level was really high. I was fifteen pounds fatter, I started to smoke and to drink. My life
was really worse. Was that my dream? No. I quit the job most people dream of. Now, I have
my own business in my hometown, Manitou Springs. I sell mineral spring water with medicinal
properties. Next summer, I am going to offer tours to spring water parks. Maybe I’ll open a store
in Denver next year. I don’t smoke. I don’t drink. I practice sports regularly. I strongly believe our
choices can make us better people.

FINDING
THE NECESSARY CHANGE
A. Our choices may require changes in our lives. Sometimes you know the result you
want to achieve, but you still have to think about how you can achieve it. Take a look
at the following operations and select one of them. You need to make a change in
the arithmetic operation (by changing one sign) to make it right. In groups, solve the
operation and mark which skills were necessary to perform the task.
42
ARE ANY
CHANGES
NECESSARY?
Note: You cannot change the equal sign (=) and you have two minutes to find the necessary change.
POSSIBLE OPERATION:
(8 / 4) X 3 + 5 = 30 (20 / 2) X 2 X 3 = 15
(9 – 1) X 2 / 6 = 3 (100 – 50) / 3 X 2 = 100
B. Which skills did you use?
( ) Brainstorming
( ) Emotional Balance
( ) Guessing
( ) Revising
( ) Persuasion
( ) Teamwork
( ) Time Management
( ) Commercial Skills
( ) Marketing Skills
( ) Listening to Others

HOW DO
YOU REACT
TO CHANGES?
SITUATION 1
I have been trying to change my personality. I want to be less

dominant and picky. I think my daughters will enjoy my company
more and share their problems with me. On the other hand, who is
going to take care of everything? My husband is not the organized
type of guy…He has always needed me to control everything!
Anna, 57, nurse, mother of three daughters.
a) What is the change?
b) What are the motivational aspects?
c) What are the demotivating aspects?
d) What are the other necessary changes?
SITUATION 2
There are three bedrooms in my house, one is in very good condition, but
the other two need serious refurbishing. I don’t need all of them…I could
turn one into an office and work from home. I used to be a home office
employee…Now I work from home sometimes, but I don’t have a comfortable
place to work at…To make things worse, I spend two hours commuting.
But there are some problems…for instance, who would take care of the
refurbishing? I would have to hire someone…How much would it cost?

incorrect jokes are cowards…

(relative pronoun) I believe will illustrate my point. I was talking
to a man (relative pronoun) biggest fear was growing old. He
constantly made jokes (relative pronoun) portrayed old people making
silly mistakes. So, that was how he dealt with his fear.
Reporter: Here’s one: “When wearing a bikini, women reveal 90 percent of their body.
Men are so polite they only look at the covered parts.” If a man keeps telling
this joke, (relative pronoun) is definitely politically incorrect,
what is he repressing?

DO YOUR
MESSAGES REACH
YOUR AUDIENCE?
TARGET AUDIENCE:
A CONCEPT
T echnically speaking, the target audience is the group of people to
whom your message is addressed. Even when we were kids, we had
to deal with this concept when talking to our parents, teachers, and
classmates. There are some important issues that we often take into
consideration—usually subconsciously—to shape our message to our
target audience. Here are some of them:
• Who are they?

• What is their most pressing issue, fear, or desire?
• Who do they trust?
• Where do they get their information from?
• What benefit will they get from your message?
• What sets off their "bullshit detector"?
a) Think of your professional field. Can you answer

the questions about your target audience?
b) Now, watch the Personal and Professional Development Video and

write who the target audience is, how it was identified, and one action
mentioned to attract it.

What’s up? I hope you are all fine that morning. It’s damn early. It’s a quarter

piece of advice, but write it down. Don’t buy what you not need. We spend
too much money on designer clothes, expensive cars, so latest generation
phones. Do I say something else? Save 20 percent of your salary. When do
you spend money without necessity? Every day! Yeah! Change your habits

BASIC 3 When I was a child, I use to think life is paradise. We know it isn’t. Tell me,
what do you think on your life? Okay…don’t tell me. Get a piece of paper
and write it down. Write just one sentence, like “It’s great!” or “It’s awful.”
Now, answer the questions: How do you have this opinion? Give just one
reason. How far do you think about it? Every day? If it’s something good,
that’s a great thing. But if it’s something bad, why do you keep thinking
about it all the time? Why it’s a part of yours life? I know. But you decide
what you keep in yours mind. And your mind sends messages to your
emotions! It’s all your, so take control! Mine opinion is that your thoughts
guide your feelings.

INTERMEDIATE 1 We are use to thinking that life is complicated. But my question is, who
said that? I used to thinking that some evil force made things difficult.
Maybe you feel the same way. But you might think twice before blaming
someone for what is your responsibility. You couldn’t change how things
are; however, you may to change how you see things. On short, you will
not play the victim. Be the protagonist of your own life! Make yourself this

INTERMEDIATE 3 Most people not only spend more than they earn as also lend money to
spend more. That’s more common than you think. Why? If you asked me, I
will say that people have difficulty facing reality. We ought understand that
limits exist and they need to be respected. Understand our limitations is an
intrinsic part of being successful. One of the commandments of becoming
a millionaire (if that is your plan) is: you might never spend more than you
earn. If you do, you will neither lose all you have or spend your life asking
for bank loans. If I am you, I wouldn’t choose none of these options.
