Happy Thursday, team Cadre. This round of team leadership. I'm your chief motivational officer, as well as an individual that talks about all of his stories on entrepreneurial ship and leadership.
Ten years ago, I left corporate America. I took a leap of faith and took a role at a nonprofit in the mental health and substance abuse field. And it forever changed my life. So the vessel that you're on today, I ask you, is it what you want?
I encourage you to evaluate the vessel you're on personally and professionally. Do you surround yourself in the professional landscape with areas of difference and difference makers that you want to be a part of? If not, the exit is very easy to get off.
Happy Thursday, team Cadre. What an amazing day. This round of team leadership. My name is Luke Wendtlandt. I'm your chief motivational officer, as well as an individual that talks about all of his stories on entrepreneurial ship and leadership. One of the things that I'm gonna hit today is the vessel you're on or the vessel you're off. Ten years ago, I left corporate America. My job, I would call it a posh koosh job, making some really good money to leave, to take a risk in a leap of faith, working at a non profit called Haze and Betty Ford foundation.
And it forever changed my life. So the vessel that I was on and I left, that vessel, ultimately, was the vessel that circumvented my entire life into this really positive, unbelievable transformation for myself. So the vessel that you're on today, I ask you, is it what you want is the vessel of the corporate landscape. What you want is the vessel of your professional landscape. What you want is the vessel of your relationships, what you want. And you got to really ask yourself and be honest with yourself, is this what I want?
Is this what I want to be a part of? Is this the direction of my life, the trajectory of my life, my ethos, my ethics, my morals, my values, who I am? Am I showing up positively? Am I showing up negatively? What is it that I'm bringing to the table for aforementioned organization? And does it match who I am and who I want to be? And like I said, ten years ago, I took a leap of faith and I left it all and I left it all behind. And it turned out to be the greatest decision I've ever made in my life.
I worked my whole life to get to that job in corporate America, achieving my MBA, achieving my other master's degree, working up, getting into the corporate world, doing all the things to be able to get there, only to find that I was completely unhappy in that direction of my life. But what I did do is I made a decision, and I made a massive difference and change in my life that transformed my entire trajectory for the last decade. Like I said, I took a leap of faith and took a role at a nonprofit in the mental health and substance abuse field, and it forever changed my life.
I encourage you to evaluate the vessel you're on, the vessel you're on in the professional landscape, the vessel you're on in the personal landscape. And do you surround yourself in the professional landscape with areas of difference and difference makers that you choose, that you want to be a part of? To the flip side of the coin. In the professional landscape, in the personal landscape, there's six individuals that are on the boat with you. Do you have the right six with you? Are the other five individuals making you better?
Are the five other individuals upping your game? Are they bringing you to new heights in this world together? So my question to you is this the vessel you're on personally and professionally, is it bringing you to the trajectory of the life that you want and you've worked your tail off to try to achieve, and if not, the exit is very easy to get off?
