First let's talk about dying. Stick with me here.
Envision lying in a casket at the front of a beautiful sanctuary, flowers and tears everywhere.
Why are we talking about our own funerals?
Because when surveyed, people routinely state they would prefer being the one In The Casket over being the one Delivering The Eulogy!
There is a central concern shared in these shocking stats:
Fear.
Fear of embarrassment so crippling they'd prefer to be the eulogized over the one at the microphone.
People are afraid of Public Speaking until they have something important to say, the feeling they are comfortable with the subject matter and that there will be an audience to hear them. Preferable an audience who doesn't plan to throw tomatoes at them.
A little knowledge, some practice, and knowing how to begin to build those muscles and start building mental and physical confidence and you're on you way.
What does this have to do with 'Compliance'? Just like other recently added categories such as
👉Cybersecurity
👉Digital Retail
👉Talent and Workforce
When Leaders haven't had the opportunity to learn in a safe environment from someone they trust, they typically avoid learning more, rather than risk exposure of looking well, you know.
Uninformed should be a dot on your timeline once you hear about something critical to your business.
A dot.
A brief point in time that was 'Before You Knew'.
This is followed shortly by
'Learning Something, Somehow from Someone'
then comes
'Con8nued Learning'
followed by 'Mastery'
And this is how you avoid being the dinosaur in the casket.
Lying in there by choice because they were more comfortable
❌not knowing
❌not learning
❌not evolving
Rather than taking time to be able to perform with confidence behind the podium.
COMPLIANCE: Don't avoid the conversation or let it paralyze you with Fear.
