Joey has some incredible insight for you on how to motivate people to follow your lead, how to be creative in setting people up for success, taking ownership for where you’re not quite nailing it and when and how you can move forward when those issues become apparent.

From the Comfort Zone to the Growth Zone

AFL Star Logan Evens joins us to show how little changes can create an epic ripple effect that builds long term success. None of us like change but none of us want to stay in the same spot either never moving the needle, never making any changes to our bottom line.

Work with Dean on making micro change and see how that can ultimately make a massive change to your day to day life and the success of your business.  Whispering Loudly, The Workshop Whisperer's Podcast.
