Once we name it, everything sharpens: brand, message, bottom line.
Opportunities expand. Influence grows. Revenue increases—sometimes by 400% in a single year.
That’s the power of The Obvious Advantage.
Disengaged employees cost U.S. companies up to $550 billion each year in lost productivity.
Replacing an employee can cost 50%–200% of their annual salary—and high retention drives up to 4x higher profit margins.
Low-trust teams experience up to 50% less productivity, while high-trust cultures report 74% less stress and 106% more energy.
aka the one we see
The credentials, experiences, and achievements others recognize but individuals may overlook.
aka the one we miss
The behavior or quality that consistently earns trust, creates momentum, or brings calm to chaos.
aka the one we are
The deeper lens that shapes how you communicate, lead, and influence those around you.
aka the one that lasts
This is what people say when you’re not in the room, and what sticks long after you’ve left it.
