Matt Adamczyk, Regional Sales Consultant for TriNet hosted a magical evening at the Nasher Sculpture Museum last evening for his extended network of friends, family, clients and colleagues. Not only was the event an unparalleled opportunity to enjoy the exquisite collection on site but it also offered a respite from the stress of shifting business imperatives and related realities.

Are you facing “intractable” problems that you suspect require social and behavioral change? Enroll in our 2-Day Mastery Course based on the New Your Times Bestseller: Influencer: The Power To Change Anything! Call 972.473.2400

Positive Deviance is an approach to personal, organizational and cultural change premised on the idea that every group, team or community performing a similar function has certain individuals (the “Positive Deviants”) whose vital behaviors enable them to function more effectively than others with the exact same resources and conditions. Because Positive Deviants are “planted” in the identical environmental conditions as those around them, but are not constrained by conventional ways of behaving, their approach to success is readily accepted as the foundation for profound organizational and cultural change.
