It seems like magic…

Purpose

If you’re going to do anything worth doing and want your company to do it with excellence, you need purpose. So why are you doing what you’re doing? Erik explains the purpose…of purpose.

Promise

Promise is a ritual. We’ve been making oaths for thousands of years. They allow for accountability, but they also suggest what is possible. Erik shares the importance of promise to a successful enterprise.

Place

Does everyone in your organization have “a place at the table?” Nobody can deliver on their purpose or promise without knowing and having confidence in their place. Erik unpacks what it means to have a place where you work and why you should care about it.

Top Performance

What’s the difference between being pretty good at something and being legendary? Erik believes it is holding yourself to the high standards of top performance.

Standard of Performance

When you look at the top-performing, most successful teams, individuals, or organizations, they have a standard of performance that they relentlessly administer. Erik shares how following a standard drives top performance.

Empowerment

The only way for you and your organization to achieve top performance is through a culture of empowered top performers. Erik unpacks how the confidence, encouragement, and motivation that comes from empowerment enables you to grow to meet your full potential.

No one will ever say “thank you” for expecting too little of them.
