About Patrick Brown-Hayes

How do you create an amazing story? People always say.\"Live an awesome life and be the life of an organization.\" It\'s easy to put on paper, but, almost impossible to accomplish in-person. I\'ve watched people struggle, for the better half of my life, and realized one thing: most colleagues, managers, and mentors are all in the same petri-dish trying to not become a cultured bacteria of wasteful thinking. I\'ve watched people and organizations self-destruct because of their own in-securities. People become more invested in what the next move is rather than living in the moment. CEO\'s say hire,\"amazing people,\" yet so often ROI is more important and companies do not have deep meaningful discussions with the people they work with everyday. Paychecks become the driving force of an organization. The next promotion is the next discussion. We all have to live and work in the same petri-dish along with bad and good bacteria. The passion, that drives us all, is what we long to find, yet most organizations do not follow behind with what they promise. When you think your \"title\" actually means something, you are in it for the wrong reason because your title will only get you so far. Live by doing and show others by example. Be human, act human, lead with integrity and people will follow you no matter how hard it gets. As the world tries to become more circular, we often forget that achievement comes from doing. Here are some things that have helped me over the years: You have to work with people outside your sector. You have to challenge theory with application. You have to break things and put them back together. You have to search for the faults in our daily lives and make things better. You have to have professional and personal relationships where people can talk through ideas. Awesome organizations come from awesome people, yet so many people don\'t understand that a job title doesn\'t mean you are awesome. I have learned that showing up not because I have to, but, because I want to is a pretty awesome way of living life.
