Hey everybody, uh, it’s Pete
It is...
Two forty-three in the morning
Before
Uhh
The morning of the UPS Sales Strategy Workshop
Here in Atlanta
And
Uh
I wanted to record a video
To talk to you guys about how I'm feeling about things and
What I feel like what we're learning as a team
To take back to everybody in New York
And
[Chortles]
I'm tired
Uh
And it's been a long weekend
Uh
I feel like
I'm getting a better understanding
Of the importance of what we do
Partly as storytellers
But partly as
People who
Just get it and can connect the different pieces together and
Are obsessed with
Making things
Make sense
[Contemplative sigh]
And not accepting that
Some things are just correct
Because they are a part of some pre-existing framework
Or
It's a piece of a research
That's based on a piece of a research
That's based on something else
Uh
And I think that part of what I'm learning is that
It's invaluable for us to teach ourselves and to teach each other
When I hear
Five
Or ten
Or
Fifteen different messages
Uhm
From within our own organization
Let alone the client's organization
How do I rapidly distill that down into
Two or three things or potentially even just one thing
That's really important
And then how do I
How do I
Conceive a path of action forward that will
Help my client and make sense for our business
And be good for our people
How do you balance all these things
[Lost in bewilderment]
But how you start by
Being an effective listener and being a critical thinker
Uhm
And being effective
At communicating your thoughts
And so
I'm feeling excited for tomorrow
I think we've got a lot of good things to share with the client
I think we've got a lot of strong speakers
I think
You know
I still have a latent concern that
It's going to be tough for everything to hang together
At the end of the day
But I'm proud of the work that we've done and
I'm excited about some of the relationships that we've started to build
Down here in the south east
Uhm
Which, which, I think
You know
Is likely to become
Uhh
Part of our expansion strategy as a studio
And, uh
[Scoffs]
Yeah, I'm just tired
Very tired
But I will check back in tomorrow after we present
And share more thoughts on things that we're learning
But, uhm, just wanted to capture this for the team
In posterity.
And we're all
Very much looking forward to coming back to New York
Alright
Peace out, bitches
Peace out
