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, I'd got some champion. I was doing everything that change management tells you to do, pushing the needle here, take scaling here. And for the time period that I went 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 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've taken on and I accept. I learned a lot of really good lessons from it. And frankly, I had some work with some 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, 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, not to 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Lifelong learning is an outdated concept in that it lacks focus for some people, whereas skill stacking is a little more concentrated and it will help you really build the keys.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.

I agree. Yeah, 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 future.

Calling the person, that's where lifelong learning for me exists and always will. And so I'm very clear on what's the differentiator. Because what you can do is if you're people like us or those listening that are like us, if you've got a whole crazy...

horizon of areas that you're interested in and you've read about, studied, done whatever to build up knowledge, it can be impossible to connect all the dots and make them all skip. I love reading modern African history. I have three shelves of books in my house that are all about the Democratic Republic of the Congress. I am never going to use that, at least not now.
