Tenet #6: Be Patient, again and again and again and again
It takes time for real insight to get embedded.  People often need to hear and experience the insight multiple times in multiple ways.  This reality can be difficult to accept; we want to see progress after all.  Patience is the reminder that the growth process is always being realized.

She is the Talent Development Director at Ecumen where she supports team member experience, growth, and education.
