This week Maurice stopped by the 'Imperfect Cafe' to have a conversation with his friends Darryl Stickel and Eric Lott. The three talk a lot about trying life on, defining what success looks like, and the broken social contract - our status quo way of going to school, getting the degree, getting into a career for decades and all will be okay mentality. We all know this is broken as many get into debt, find themselves 20 years into careers they never wanted, and miss many life opportunities. This is where lifestyle design comes in, especially attacking areas such as financial, time, location and purpose freedoms as a cornerstone to professional life. Darryl and Eric were new to the idea of designing your own life and through speaking with Maurice, learned to really lean into the power this mindset holds and the potential for freedom to reach our goals in a new way. We have more power over our lives than we think. After talking with Maurice and understanding the Try Life On methodology, Darryl and Eric left with a whole new perspective. And you will too. Darryl Stickel is a true thought leader in the area of trust. He sets a great example and offers valuable insights and guidance on leadership and transformation that are both practical and impactful. Recognized as one of the world’s leading thinkers on trust by Trust Across America and Trust Around the World, and having spoken at renowned institutions such as Harvard, NYU, Notre Dame, and UC Irvine, Darryl’s methodology on the ability to build trust is what separates leaders who are exceptional from those who are merely acceptable. Darryl’s “Lead with Imperfections” call to action helps leaders and business owners create a foundational shift in their workplace culture, resulting in deeper relationships, higher employee buy-in, and a transformation in performance and revenue that propels them to the next level of success. https://www.trustunlimited.com/
