Yeah, absolutely. And that statement, talking about walking the talk event, we develop modern leaders to face their biggest challenges. That is really a derivation also of what the vision of Copperbox is, which is to prepare leaders to confront and address the greatest challenges of our time. And that is both our vision, it's also an aspirational goal that we have for our firm.

And it goes beyond the realm of business and into areas such as government policy, certainly large, big problems that the world faces, such as climate change and misinformation, loneliness, et cetera. And so that's our aspiration. Now, how do we do that in more sort of purposeful and day to day terms is through our work with business leaders.

And so one area that we are very focused on and do a lot of work in is private equity and supporting private equity operating companies and their executives. As we know, private equity moves at a very fast pace. Firms have investment theses that they need to achieve and fulfill, and they do that through the talent that they have at their portfolio companies.

A lot of our work is really helping those leaders to quickly identify The areas of their leadership that need to be, the gaps need to be quickly closed and to really partner with them closely at pace in order to do that. And when I mean at pace, I really mean on a quarter by quarter basis, which is the cadence of business in general.

That's certainly the cadence of business within private equity where they're trying to achieve very specific objectives and goals quarter by quarter.

Yes, so modern leadership is really about the many demands of a leader today that didn't exist or they didn't have those expectations put upon them even, let's say, four or five years ago, pre-COVID. But in a post-COVID era, and particularly with the challenges that we face today, societal, not to mention in business, right?

modern leadership is required and so how i define it and i know we'll talk in a moment about the eight principles but how i really define it is taking a more timeless view on leadership based on understandings of human nature based on understandings of patterns that we've seen occur throughout history

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 and not simply

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.
