The Story Behind Seven Big
How big is that box?
Seven Big was born from a misunderstanding based on different perspectives and expectations. It started when I asked my young daughter “How big is that box?” She studied the box and confidently asserted “Seven.” Confused, I asked, “Seven what?” Without hesitation, she replied: “Seven BIG”, as if it should be obvious. She wasn’t wrong. She knew exactly what she was thinking and she answered my simple question – How BIG is it?
Over the past two decades, I have seen this situation play out repeatedly with leaders and teams at all levels in a variety of organizations. We all think we are being clear. We assume others understand what we are saying. Or, we believe we have a clear picture of what we want but can’t find the right words to explain it.
Seven Big represents a clear vision, common understanding, and alignment that leads to increased clarity, confidence, and courage. Wherever you are on your journey, I’m here to help you, your teams, and your organization achieve a Seven Big success!
