🔴 Emphasised the importance of changing behaviours to align with role model standards.
🔴 Ensured new players bought into the program for continuity and success from day one.
Results and Vision

🔴 Focused on understanding and acting upon the organisation’s purpose: alleviating pain and offering gifts to others.
🔴 The goal was to stand out by being very or outrageously different to inspire.
