WHAT TO REMEMBER
This eight-day intensive is not a program that ends. It's the beginning of a way of being at work that lasts.
The eight pillars aren't perfect. They're how you stay awake.
When resistance comes — and it will — that's normal. Resistance means change is real.
Your leadership team carries this culture forward. Support them.
Some practices will stick immediately. Some will take months. That's okay.
The goal is not perfection.
The goal is sustainability.
You've changed. Trust that. Build on it.
The next chapter is yours to write.
