  Two years of consulting with one company. Two years of training and coaching their leaders. And last week, I told the leadership team, “It’s time for you to fly alone.” Cue the replies: “I wouldn’t still be working here if it weren’t for your training.” “You’ve made this company a better place for everyone; the impact you have had is hard to even put into words” “The lessons you’ve brought into our business, helping us become more self-reflective, take ownership of our people, and build on our coaching skills, will stay with us for a long time”   They get it.

It’s a no-brainer, right? “If I see the value in doing this thing… I’ll do it” Or, more importantly… “If I understand what I’ll get out of doing it (and I want that outcome for myself)… I’ll do it” Sort of like when you ask your teenager to set a 7am alarm, ready for school. You’re often faced with all of the Kevin and Perry grunts.
