Peter Drucker is often credited with saying, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” While some debate whether the phrase was truly his, there’s no question Drucker emphasized the power of culture. As a Forbes article, Why Does Culture 'Eat Strategy For Breakfast'?, explains, his work highlights three timeless lessons:
- Culture is created by the behaviors you tolerate.
- Change starts at the top.
- Leaders are a voice at the table—not the voice.
These lessons underscore an essential truth: leaders must model change first, then empower their teams to embrace and execute it. Culture becomes the foundation that accelerates strategy, not the other way around.
Last week, I shared the six essential steps from Change Your Mind. Create New Results training—including two core requirements: truly wanting to change and knowing exactly what you want.
This week, let’s explore the real-world outcomes individuals and organizations achieve when they make change their strategic advantage.
The ability to adapt is no longer optional—it’s the gateway to growth.

A Personal Breakthrough Story
One participant, Bob Helgens (co-founder of QCHuddles.com and HappyGram.org), experienced a life-changing shift:
“For decades, I struggled with sleep issues. After going through Dr. Joe Dispenza’s program with Doug Wick, I experienced a breakthrough. For 12 consecutive nights—and counting—I slept soundly. That’s huge for someone diagnosed as a somnambulist since age 11. Today, meditation and cultivating my garden daily help release anxiety and negative emotions that once stole my peace. Now I’m living into a future I can envision clearly.”
Stories like Bob’s prove: real change is possible—no matter your history or challenges.
The 30-Day Genius Journal
Training doesn’t end when the session does. Participants commit to a 30-Day Genius Journal, which helps them:
- Reflect on key learnings.
- Stay intentional with daily meditation.
- Define what they no longer want, what they do want, and the actions to take.
- Rehearse new ways of thinking, acting, and feeling.
This practice is where the deepest transformations occur. With focus and repetition, participants consistently achieve measurable progress toward their envisioned future.

Growth demands Strategic Discipline.
In 2012, when I was diagnosed with cancer, my first reaction was brutal self-criticism. I called myself ignorant, irresponsible—even stupid. Maybe you can relate. When you make a mistake, do you beat yourself up, too?
In Change Your Mind. Create New Results, we teach that real transformation begins by elevating your emotions. It’s the only way to break free from old patterns and intentionally create the future you want.
Next week, I’ll share why being you is punishment enough—and how learning to overcome the automatic programs of your body and mind opens the door to growth. I’ll also outline the specific benefits you and your team can expect from this powerful training.
