Summary

In this class, I’m bringing back the concept of the AWOL effect — when your results are missing in action. You might not have a name for it, but you know the feeling: working hard, yet not seeing the outcomes you want. I’ll explain what the AWOL effect really is, why it happens, and how to deal with it so you can get back on track. If what I describe sounds like your situation, you’ll know exactly what steps to take next. Show Notes: [02:12]#1 Ability Without Outcome or Leverage. [07:20]#2 What are you feeling when going through the AWOL effect? [15:16]#3 What are some ways that it manifests itself, and how does this actually happen?
