I also share a special offer tailored just for you on mastering question-asking skills and 1-on-1 coaching to help you communicate at your highest level.

The Big Red won a school-record 17-straight games while capturing the program's first-ever NCAC Tournament Championship.

| Overdeliverance: Experiences that Surpass Ridiculously High Expectations | 16 Jan 2024 | 00:11:43 | |
Today I want to share a new idea. Overdeliverance In a world where the mantra "under promise, over deliver" has become commonplace, let's challenge the status quo and introduce a new concept: Overdeliverance. Overdeliverance is not about modest commitments and barely exceeding them; it's about setting bold expectations and still surpassing them with confidence and flair. Imagine a realm where promises are not mere assurances, but declarations. A world where commitment is not a cautious whisper, but a resounding proclamation. One Percent Better celebrates the philosophy that excellence is not found in playing it safe but in daring to push boundaries day after day. This episode shares four stories showcasing the magic of Overdeliverance. I invite you to share real-life stories from businesses and your personal life where you have experienced or embraced an audacious, over-promised and over-delivered experience. Email me joe@onepercentbetterproject.com Overdeliverance can be a catalyst for personal growth, professional success, and the elevation of standards. Challenge conventional wisdom and strive for that extra mile. I would love to hear what you think.
