Good morning, cadre, how are we doing today? Hope everyone is doing well. I'm coming to you from the cadre van, if you can't tell. It should look familiar if you've picked up on the cadre podcast. So thanks, Luke, for helping me out. So I'm going to start out today. This is the first session. Hello, Speak Wonder. Hello, Luke. This is the first session. And I'm going to start out each session by giving a 1% better tip. Personal lesson learning. And then I'm going to hopefully that will spark others to share during the podcast.
So today my 1% better is sometimes I'll speak for myself. I feel like I can just do things on my own and take on the world. And I got this and I can knock down whatever's in front of me. And sometimes that's not true. Sometimes we need help. Sometimes we need a friend, a team member, a family member. So today I've been struggling to try to get this livestream going. I may have some phone issues. We don't know. But my friend, Luke, who is, of course, the founder of cadre, took it out of his busy schedule to just help me get over the hump.
So we're figuring this thing out. And we're live and I'm super happy about it. I've got feedback, videos working, audio is working. Good morning, Speak Wonder, Erie, Pennsylvania. Hopefully it's a little bit nicer there. It's drizzly and wet and rainy, but we're loving our fall weather here in Minnesota. So what is 1% better? First of all, just a little bit about my background. I've been in the management consulting space for over 30 years. And at the end of the day, it's really about helping organizations, helping teams, helping groups of people and individuals improve.
At the end of the day, that's what we do. We use technology, we use process, we use better ways of working, thinking, we use it all. But it's at the end of the day, it really comes down to people. And it comes down to, we like to talk about org change and transformations. Those are abstract terms. But you really have to break it down into teams and individual people. That's where change happens. And so over those years, I've learned a few things. I continue to every single day and try to share that with all of my clients.
Started a podcast three years ago called 1% Better and it's been incredible. It's a lot of just incredible people sharing their stories of improvement, their breakthroughs, their challenges in very authentic ways. And there's a lot of learnings from that. So the live stream with cadre is doing the same. Sharing those lessons, those techniques, those stories. So I'm really excited to do that. I'll be coming to you each week. I think Monday morning seems to be a good time to, it's a fresh start of the week or it's an end of the week for most people.
And really excited to share that. So what is 1% better? 1% better is a mindset that we can all apply. It's based on the idea that we are, as humans, limitless. We continue to evolve and there's no end to that. And how do we, how do we do that? How do we encourage that? How do we promote that? And there's so many ways to do that. But it all starts with what's going on between our years and the mindset of believing in that. Getting 1% better every day to our purpose. Getting 1% better to what we believe in what our values are and growing with it .
So not locking into things necessarily from yesterday or last week or last year . We've all learned things, I hope, over our lifetime and that should open a lot of doors and windows. So I'm really excited to share some of that thinking and to be able to hear from you. What are you learning? What are you using to improve and get better and help others get better? So that's a 1% better mindset. We'll be digging into it in depth every week. So if anyone's got anything to share what they're doing to get better today or this week, please share on the live stream here.
Otherwise, again, looking forward to things and really excited because I think cadre is all about improvement. It's all about us getting better as individuals and as teams and as a group and as a cadre sphere. So I hope you all have a great week and if there's one thing you can do, just take a moment and say what can I do this day, this week better than I did last week. And hopefully you can share that on the live stream next Monday. Take care.
