The goal of great company orientation programs is to have the instructor tell emotional stories about how cool the culture is. Know why?

Given the choice between working in a cool, exciting culture, and one that isn’t, which would you pick?

Personal, emotional, real stories from someone who was in the operation yesterday and is going back tomorrow, well, it’s as authentic as it gets.

When we stop climbing to feed our need for self worth in title and pay, we start climbing to feed our need for authenticity and contribution.
