Natural Progression honors how people actually move through their journey of discovery, evaluation, and partnershipβ€”at their own timing, following their own path, driven by their own readiness.

Core Principle

People progress when:

  • They’re genuinely ready
  • Trust has been built
  • Value has been demonstrated
  • Timing aligns naturally
  • Conviction has developed

Not when:

  • We want them to
  • Our metrics demand it
  • Our process requires it
  • Our quotas need it

What It Looks Like

Natural Progression is:

  • Non-linear and individual
  • Driven by authentic readiness
  • Supported, not forced
  • Honored, not manipulated
  • Measured by depth, not speed

In Practice

Enabling Natural Progression means:

  • Removing barriers to movement
  • Supporting individual timing
  • Honoring non-linear paths
  • Building genuine conviction
  • Trusting the process

The strongest partnerships emerge from natural progression, not forced acceleration.
