Because people resist.She realized something uncomfortable. Corporate America spends millions trying to retrofit adults with agility, empathy, and innovation. But we are starting twenty years too late.So she wrote a children's book.The Bibba & Bubba series teaches kids something she calls "cultural buoyancy." The ability to adapt, innovate, and thrive. And here is the genius part. When parents read these books to their kids, they absorb the same lessons. A Trojan Horse for adult development.In this episode, we talk about:· Why culture is not a poster on the wall. It is how people actually act· The difference between surviving change and growing through it· How a children's book can make you a better leader by tomorrow morning· What "cultural buoyancy" means for a five-year-old and a CEO· Why resistance is not the enemy. It is information· Where real leadership starts. Spoiler. Not the boardroom. The backyard.Jill is warm, brilliant, and completely original. She does not give you corporate buzzwords. She gives you a new way to see.Connect with Jill:Website: https://www.b2we-jilldelgado.org/Book: Bibba & Bubba series
