Michelle and Chase talk about the idea of Professional Fuel and the importance of ensuring our tank is full while helping those around us fill up their tank to stay engaged and motivated. This episode was inspired by a leader gathering at FORUM, where leaders discussed how accountability leads to results. Leaders were asked to share one word to describe this connection ... and one leader used the word "fuel." Michelle and Chase thought this was such a great word to illustrate the impact of accountability on results and wanted to explore it more. We all have individual needs and drives that fuel our performance and motivation. This episode reveals how our professional fuel drives results, including transferable skills, meaningful experiences, and enduring relationships.
