The advice from Eddy Perez on how to "Show the Way"


Are you paying respect to others, are you paying respect to yourself, and are you giving yourself that time to think.


In leadership, you show the way, you say things like, "let's go do this" - you show up early, you work hard, you read, you get better-- but are you keeping that a secret or are you showing the way?


Respect -> Love -> Honor and that is the ultimate formula for success in SHOWING THE WAY.


At EPM some of our 23 fundamentals play a big role in how we embrace 'showing the way'. Some of those include:
Do the right thing always
Practice blameless problem-solving
Demonstrate Empathy
Treasure, protect, and promote EPM
Show sincere appreciation
Show you care
Be proud of your appearance

The way someone talks about you, or to you has no reflection on WHO YOU ARE. How do you talk about yourself? 


Show the way, and lead with this honor and respect for the code of life!

What does it mean to struggle well?

Listen in and you are sure to find out.

But let's dig a little deeper here. To struggle well you first need to be mentally prepared to the work that is done is done to its fullest ability. 

At EPM some of our 23 fundamentals play a big role in how we embrace struggling well. Some of those include:
Honor Commitments
Deliver Results
"Bring it" Every Day
Deliver Superfan Service
Get the Details Right
Mediocrity is your Enemy
Set and Ask for Expectations

So when you are going through a struggle, make it good, make it a lesson, and make something that yields results you never dreamed of.

Unity through collaboration is how Eddy leads.

We don't know if tomorrow is going to be our last time and the way to inner peace is to EMPOWER people, show them the way, and struggle well at doing it.

When you have unity through collaboration it empowers people more and keeps people going.
