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 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 anymore. I'm pushing the rock. I'm ill as whatever the Greek 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, I 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 gonna happen.

But in this instance, it's a little bit about, it's maybe less about the change addict thing, but learning of 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 this is a good idea?

Okay, maybe we need to tailor it a little more specific 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 for a 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 success. It's not just keep that directed by the outside or financial reasons only. The whole way that we're going to evolve 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Lifelong learning is an outdated concept in that it lacks focus for some people, whereas skill stacking is a little more concentrated and it will help you really build a piece. 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.

I agree. Yeah. You, you have brought the other hand that I'm not going to say that I forgot. But what I would add to what you're saying, and it's way before in the skill stacking, I differentiate between calling the person and calling the professional all the time. So skill stacking, those are skills stacked for my coaching.
