Does efficiency get you all hot and bothered?
(There’s an Easter Egg if you read to the bottom.)
A hundred years ago, going from London to Paris was a sixteen hour ordeal. It was a journey involving trains and a boat. Now? It’s a 90-minute flight.
Getting riled up?
Guess how long my seminar on adaptive leadership and developmental culture is? Yeah, guys… the Hold the Standard™ Summit is typically two eight hour days. Pop that in your calculator… grand total?
Sixteen freaking hours!
Someone light some candles. Put on some smooth jazz. The efficiency you’re about to let wash over you might be too much to handle.
I’ve distilled everything I know about leadership development into 90-minutes and I’m teaching it on my home turf here in Venice Beach… and, you’re invited!

How’s that for a good time?
What: Adaptive Leadership & Developmental Culture Workshop
