And based on an understanding of the on the ways in which people typically react and respond to different types of stimuli in their environment. So those are just a few examples. But what we're really looking at here is understanding leaders and leadership and how to lead from a much more systemic point of view.

Yeah, absolutely, Vince. So the eight principles are our perspective, our copper box, our ethos, if you will, about how we think about modern leadership. So at the end of the day, you must help business leaders achieve their outcomes. And so that is first and foremost. And that being said... Working with them is an opportunity to go for transformational change for the leader.

And we know that when they achieve transformational change, when they become stronger leaders, not only in work, but also in different aspects of their life, there is a much more powerful cascading benefit and impact that is much more far-reaching. And that's what we want to help them achieve.

And so when we think about the eight principles, we have that in mind, that it's not simply about business outcomes, but we are confident that when we help leaders to become more modern, to achieve transformation, inevitably, that is going to have great impact on the businesses that they lead and they run.

So when we think about the principles, first, it really it does start with getting grounded in core purpose. And there's a lot of talk about purpose. There's a lot of talk about finding your purpose or finding your why. And in essence, it is where everything starts.

Core purpose is understanding both your deeply held values, how you move in the world, what's important to you, what you'll put a stake in the ground for. It's also about the values and gifts that you bring to the world and that you want to use. We call them your superpowers. And the combination of your values and your gifts are very powerful.

And when you are able to combine both of those and then channel that into your purpose, you really do become unstoppable. So I've seen that in my own life, being able to have the renewed energy to really drive my business and to have the impact on leaders. But I also see that in the lives of others, both my team members and also our clients.

And the last thing I'll say about getting grounded in core purpose is that we talk a lot about inspiration and leadership, but really to be inspirational, you yourself have to be inspired. And so what is it in the world that inspires you, that gets you up in the morning and how you're able to bring that energy, which by the way, other people can see very quickly whether you have it or not.
