You need to know as a Visionary I live in the future and often make it up as I go
I am looking for people to bring order to chaos
to build a multi-billion dollar company
I will guarantee ONE thing
In one year
things will look different from how it exists today
your purpose fires you up

these truths
Corporate America impacts everyday life in many
positive ways…
Butthere is plenty of room for
improvement
Who is our tribe?
value and purpose driven business
lead by example not control
your purpose is self-actualization
in Seth Godin’s world you are a Linchpin
are self-aware
have high emotional intelligence
are an artist
are a passionate entrepreneur
are a courageous leader
challenge status quoYou…
yearn to be differentdesire to be yourself
& be part of something great
Who is not our tribe?
closed to inner exploration
not aligned with core values
My belief about business and life….
The tension between chaos and order = growth
The primary purpose of a business
is to be acatalyst
Enabling each employee to reach their full potential.
Every person
has genius in them
A businesses potential is to activate everyone’s natural
genius
to change the fabric of societies around the world
How do we rock your world?
Why?

EZOG Story
One vision five years ago
one catalyst named Jen Orvis
team building and research100 interviews with
entrepreneurs& dozens of people in panel
discussions
After…
8 months later
Why businesses?
8760 hours in a year
30% is spent working
Work has a huge impact on our lives
Gallup found 59% of workers are disengaged
Engaged workers feel better
There is a direct correlation between
employee engagement& financial success
corporations are built in an
antiquated model- Frederick Taylor, Alfred
Sloan and Adam Smith
Antiquated [an-ti-kwey-tid] :continued from, resembling, or adhering to the past; old-fashioned, no longer used, aged, old
There is a movement by some companies towards a more
democratic structure
