They used all the right words. They were very receptive to the idea before I moved in house. I got in there and I asked, do you want me to be disruptive? Would you like me to push new initiatives? Absolutely. This is what we want. And within a month of me doing that, we don't really like it. Or that was a little too much. The reality is they were a different kind of ad.

They were hooked on a legacy of very high revenue and high profit margin. And they weren't willing, they really weren't willing and they hadn't done the time to figure out, do we want to change? Are we willing to forego some of that to potentially make it somewhere else or maybe not?

And even though they had all of the support, allegedly support from people above and their ownership and others, they were incredibly reluctant to do it. So I was sitting in a role where change was in my title, but I couldn't do anything. And I had tried, I had built up goodwill. I'd got some champion. I was doing everything that change management tells you to do.

Pushing the needle here, scaling your time here. And for the time period that I was there, they were wholly unwilling to take it on. And at a certain point I had to, you know what, it isn't going to work for me. I'm pushing the rock. I'm ill, as whatever the Greek myth do. And I'm not getting anywhere. And I'm being told two different stories.

So we dig into it, which might have really been like an external push from other people. So we don't want to do it. And it ended up being a failure for myself. And it's something that I had taken on and I accept. I learned a lot of really good lessons from it. And frankly, had some work with the wonderful people that were driven to do it.

But when the entire organization has been dictated change and not really trusting of the person who's supposed to pilot it, then it's not going to happen. But in this instance, it's a little bit of both.

It's maybe less about the change addict thing, but learning how that change grow, if that's a good word or change guide, which is all right, maybe we need to take a step back and figure out what is your definition of change? Is it collectively the same? Do we all think it's a good idea? Okay. Maybe we need to tailor it a little more specifically. And then move on from there.

And that's hopefully where I am now and how I actually go about it a little bit more. There's a little bit less, less put on the gas, more, let's put the car in park per second and let's have a talk. We'll drive a block down the road and then we're going to have another talk. And that way we can get to the kind of, again, change that we're all trying to achieve.

And back to that definition of six steps, it's not just keep steps. directed by the outside or financial reasons only, the whole way that we're gonna devolve in and change for the better.

Lifelong learning is an outdated concept in that it lacks focus for some people, whereas skill stacking is a little more concentrated and it will help you really build the keys. But again, it's not going to be specific in an area, but you can apply it across a swath of area and it'll really help you advance your career and advance whatever you want to do to be a standout kind of person.
