It’s not always easy to work through professional development challenges and exercises on your own.
Some people enjoy more collaboration, accountability, and live working sessions (i.e., with me and other community members).

They leave a hollow organization behind when they walk away.
They build nothing that lasts without their presence because they’ve never allowed their team to flex their own “vision muscles.”
