Joanna Burgraf is a Chicago-based Senior Lead for an award-winning Creative Services team managing ten brands at Enova International, a company using technology to develop innovative financial products. Having endured an expensive journey to consider a career change, she found that to follow your passion was the worst piece of advice she'd ever gotten. You'll hear how this fashionable, but naive empowerment slogan had shifted her focus away from working on being a valued cooperative member of a larger team - to the self-focused, navel-gazing, isolating habit of finding one’s true "Self."

After the break, we'll hear a Guru Talk by co-founder Kirkland Tibbels. This talk originally aired earlier this year - and we can't study it enough. Recorded in May of 2015 this webinar introduces three different orientations to action; these are Self-Action, Inter-Action, and Trans-Action. As we are the leading business education in trans-actional competence this segment is designed to illustrate the naivety and danger of Self-Action.
