"Annnnn...I've tried everything!"

I hear this often from my clients in my culture coaching sessions. Sometimes when we can't figure out how to change someone's behavior or get a more positive result we need to...go to the source.

Ann shares a professional and personal example of how going to the source can shift behaviors, increase buy-in for a behavior shift, and help you see different (more positive) results!

Sometimes problems seem too big to even confront. So we don't confront them. We just let them take up space, time, and our mental energy.

In this episode, we confront the biggest challenge when trying to solve a problem. --> Figuring out what the actual problem is.

If you're ready to hit challenges head on and create a solution that you and your team can get behind, this episode is for you.
