The long way is the short cut. Each important piece of cultural architecture has a positive ripple effect when you have it in place and a negative ripple effect when it isn’t.

 

The hardest thing in the world is to change who we are once we are well into our career. However, it SHOULD be the easiest thing because what we are really asked to do is to simply keep getting better.

Even with as much experience as you have

It’s different when you aren’t working for the 5th most admired company in the world. Screenshot of ad from maybe eight years ago.

 

Even with as much experience as you have, you can still make dramatic leaps in your leadership development.

Being the CEO of your own business is vastly different than being in charge of something at someone else’s business.

Vastly.

Transformationally.

If this hits close to home, there’s finally a personal trainer available

If you’ve tried to change your culture and gave up, or are avoiding trying to change your culture, feel free to visit junglejeff.com

Culture comes down to habits.

What people think and do without thinking.

This will never change until you hire a corporate personal trainer to transform your thinking about what you and your organization are capable of.

And right now, you have way too many false limits.

We get what we pay for.

And when we don’t pay anything (or we pay very little), we get what we invest.

Same with exercise.

What justifies a price we are willing to pay?

Personal Trainer rates
i asked Charles for this yesterday.

 

What justifies a price we are willing to pay?

  • Expertise?
  • Trust?
  • Comfort?
  • Style?
  • Reputation?
  • Results?
  • Exemplification?

All that plus this:

How badly does the prospect want to change?

And if they are pro-change, where do they what to land?
