So mom had a background in public health, I didn't have a background in anything. But she felt that a lot of the customers were being served by these massive government contracting firms who didn't care about mission or customer service. She felt the government was paying out all this money in overhead costs for consulting fees, and that there was no need for all that fat on the hog. So these big margins these companies were charging meant their own consultants were getting worked to death for too little, and the customers were overpaying.
Instead, she could pay consultants more, be less greedy, cut the overhead costs, and give customers better service. A lot of these big companies have horrible cultures and don't care about their own people or their customers beyond money.
But we had no idea what a pivot was, we had no strategy, no business plan, just grinding out of sheer terror and fear every day. We had no idea what we were doing, we just were too stupid to know we weren't supposed to succeed.
Actually mom wrote a book about her journey, and her process, its .99 on kindle if you want to check it out.
Me - 24 years, treatment resistant schizophrenia - former It engineer and educator. My autobiography is on Amazon -"Living With Madness: The Best Ever First-Person Account"
I have suffered from schizophrenia for 24 years - I am treatment resistant, so I have learned to manage and cope, and even do well. But, it is and has been hell - the more you know, the better.
My first 2 years were very paranormal - from God, to the Devil, to the paranormal - my autobiography, including my whole story, and how to best cope with this disastrous illness is available on Amazon - it may help you. Just search for "Living With Madness: The Best Ever First-Person Account, by Donald W. Carroll, on Amazon.
This link is taking me to a “Retirement Simplified” book.
Edit: Here is a link to the book described in the post’s title.
Not sure if this is the appropriate place, but for anyone interested in understanding schizophrenia, here's a book published by a fellow Edmontonian and mental health worker. It reads like a diary of a patient with notes, poetry, and drawings influenced by someone close to him suffering from this mental illness.
Nice, I'll see if I can check it out. Been able to read decently over the last few months. Also have schizophrenia. Got a recommendation in return, Demons In the Age of Light: A Memoir of Psychosis and Recovery
People who suffer from this are very courageous. There are all kinds of struggles for their rights and such. The book The Center Cannot Hold by Elyn R. Saks is an amazing read if you want more insight https://www.amazon.com/Center-Cannot-Hold-Elyn-Saks-ebook/dp/B000WHVRZS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1519612830&sr=8-1&keywords=the+center+cannot+hold+my+journey+through+madness+by+elyn+r.+saks
I am a therapist and I have worked with schizophrenia in my practice and so has my wife in her clinical experience. The thing I will say is that schizophrenia definitely varies by the individual and the case. Medication can be a frustrating part for of treatment due to all of the side effects. It isn't to say that it doesn't help, but it can be frustrating to a person who is used to having a normal life and then all the sudden a medication causes all sorts of other symptoms. I would suggest for you to read both of the following books and look for a support group. Also, it will be important for your sister to have regular social interaction. In Austin we have something called Austin Clubhouse that helps with all of this and is a free service. I would look for services similar to this. The regular interaction will help her to have meaning and to move towards her goals -- even if they have shifted a bit. I hope that helps. This is a life altering shift for you, her, and your family. It takes time.
