Ryan's ADAPTABILITY: How to Survive Change You Didn’t Ask For: Layoffs and restructurings, foreclosures and bankruptcy, dwindling retirement savings, divorce …wherever you look something is changing. How can we adapt quickly and successfully? MJ Ryan has the answer with her new book about Adaptability: How to Survive Change Your Didn’t Ask For.
