Now that I have captured your attention I want to steal you for rhythm and invention Mr. TSA, I'm ready for inspection Show me how you make a first impression. Can we take it nice and slow, slow Break it down and drop it Low, low? Pause button. How's everybody doing on this Monday? That's a little Selena Gomez, slow down. I love that song. It's a good bop. And slowing down is what we're going to talk about today in a moment. But before we do, I have to say I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad you're here.
I know the things I know and I care about you. My name is JC. If we've never shared time and space together before, thank you for the opportunity to spend some time with you right now, right here in the cadre sphere. So, you know, in this age of time, in this chapter of the world, it seems that efficiency is kind of top of mind. How can we do more, faster, with less, for less? That's kind of the man behind the curtain. Every single goal kind of leads back to that. How do we do more with less and get further faster?
Well, in the book of JC, here's what I think. In the age of efficiency, the magic trick is to slow down and do less. You may go and say, wait a minute, if the goal is to do more, easier and faster, how can slowing down and doing less accomplish that? Well, it's interesting. Efficiency is not, all efficiencies are not created equally. We can sometimes get to the finish line first, but then we look back and we remember that we're part of a team. and the rest of our team is somewhere splattered along the course, not at the finish line yet.
So we may feel like we got there, but we didn't get there with all the people and all the parts that we need to actually accomplish our goal. And in those moments we may go, well, others just need to work harder, faster, deeper, stronger. We don't actually acknowledge the systems that are slowing us down and making us not be where we want to be, how we want to be. Today, my invitation for you is as you look at the work that you're doing, sometimes going, huh, okay, how do we pump the brakes enough so we can become really aware of all the things that are going on?
And then that moment going, now we're gonna do this. And all of a sudden, that efficiency builds, that acceleration increases. And then we go, okay, let's be here for a moment. Let's not do more. Let's isolate. Let's do less for a moment and go, is that working? And then we go, yeah, it is. And then you go, okay, now this. And then of course, over time, now this, now this, now this, now this, now this. But if the work that we're doing does not make us more aware and in control and confident of what we're actually creating, then work happens through us and not to us.
I mean to us and not through us. And that's an issue. Efficiency that's happening to us and not through us doesn't get us anywhere, except faster to that brick wall where we bang our head and we fall down and we go, well, now what? Go back to go. Don't collect $200, right? You go ahead and get to that place where you go, I thought I was running faster. But in reality, I was running right into that brick wall. Y'all, have a good one. A little Selena to play us out. And then we'll go ahead and see you tomorrow.
Take it nice and slow, slow. Break it down and drop it low, low.
