Todd: (03:51)Fantastic. So what I love to do, just to give whoever’s listening or watching a, you know, little preview right up front about sort of what we’re going to get into, I think it’s really important to know who you two are and a little bit about what you do, but really focus on why, why it is you have chosen this path. And uh, you know, what really drives you to do what you, Lisa: (04:15)yeah. Elizabeth: (04:17)Cool. Well, I think you should go first because you are the, Oh, Jean McCloud and Warren. Lisa: (04:23)Um, I how I got into this, we run a boutique consulting firm and uh, we do three things. We write, we do keynotes and we do consulting. That usually includes a good bit of training content. And how I got into this was I spent many years as a hired gun sales trainer. I was a sales coach for a lot of companies, sales trainer. And one of the things that I realized was underneath all those tactical training skills, there was a human essence that ended up being the make or break thing, that differentiated between average performers and exceptional performers. And I always sort of felt that and did some research on it, did some studies, big long story on that, but ended up identifying this thing called noble purpose and recognizing that that was the thing that drove top performance and also recognizing that a lot of companies don’t know how to instill that in their people.
