Chand notes that our perceptions and thinking patterns determine our emotions, values, and beliefs, influencing how we respond to people and events. Sometimes, we are not even aware of the reasons behind what we say and do because our responses may be ingrained from childhood. But Chand believes all of us can have new thinking for a new future. He has set out to help people move beyond specific goals and consider objectives and key results, challenge themselves, ask crucial questions, and “upgrade the software” in their heads.

In Harnessing the Power of Tension: Stretched but Not Broken, international leadership consultant Sam Chand examines tension as it arises in and between the arenas of business, church, and family. The presence of tension isn’t a flaw in you or a threat from others. It’s not a problem to solve, but a strain to be used. When you develop this perspective and you encounter tension, you’ll be less confused and feel less guilty because you understand that tension isn’t the result of your error or flaw.

Unas personas pensaron que estaban haciendo a Sam Chand “una oferta que no podía rechazar” cuando lo invitaron a hablar en un evento de dos días en el extranjero pagando por vuelos en primera clase y alojamiento para Chand y su esposa, además de pagar un generoso honorario. Pero él no aprovechó la oportunidad. Chand solo estaba interesado en “el impacto existencial a largo plazo” en los asistentes. Él pensaba de una manera diferente a como ellos pensaban.

Every one of us gets anywhere in life due to three things: someone observes us, forms an opinion about us, and decides to give us an opportunity...or not. Likewise, we do the same thing with others. People have played this essential role in our lives, and we play it in the lives of those around us - and no matter how skilled we’ve become, we can play it even better.
