But I am determined to learn the Tocatta part of Tocatta and Fugue in D minor down for Saturday for a tour group I am playing for.” The rush of comments seemed to entirely miss the point. “you worry to much.” “you are a great pianist.” For a little extra inspiration while you read on click here: Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor.

Implementing change at work requires facing the truth and discussing uncomfortable topics. For example, you might have to share that the change will have negative repercussions for certain stakeholders.
