Learning How to Develop Patterns of Growth

Listen as Bill Moore, PacMoore CEO, discusses the growth process.

Video Transcription: hi my name's Bill Moore I am the CEO of PacMoore we started in 1989 and when I left Procter and Gamble so we've been at this for almost 29 years now yeah PacMoore's vision is that they will have a passion for life transformation and through that will be exceptionally good at feeding the world but life transformation is not an easy process it's not easy for any of us me included my life has been very cyclical times when things are really good in times when things are really difficult and that has never changed it doesn't get good and stay good it doesn't be bad and stay bad it's it's cyclical as I grow and learn I'll mature through the cycle then I'll have some dips and find that I'm struggling in another area and so and I haven't found our employees are any different than that maybe some of their problems are different than the ones I've had but their lives are very much the same way and when we work together on a certain problem maybe it's a drug or alcohol issue and we may find some some success in that area and some strength in that air and we may find that we've grown in that space something else then becomes an issue that needs to be addressed and there may be a season where all is well and things smooth out a bit but that never really seems to last for anybody and so and and in that - the works hard you know for anybody for the individuals that work here for me personally working on life transformation is very difficult and what I find though is that when we create a culture that where people engage with each other in that process we do it together and we work through the hard together when you're alone and when you try to do it alone that's when it's really really difficult and you and you don't make a lot of progress by yourself in fact I would say you probably don't make any progress and sometimes you go backwards and so that that's the real key is being together being in community and that's where we see the progress happen and the life transformation happened and people think life transformation means your whole life has changed completely and and everything's great and that's just not true it's it's pieces of your life find resolution where there was brokenness and so for people to think they can go anywhere and to have their life completely fixed in one way is really not true even in the church setting we find that we get this sense that if I just do a certain thing well everything in my life will just get better and it'll all just get better and that's just not really true there are no superheroes on this side of heaven no one gets fixed and everything's fixed forever it just doesn't work that way people have brokenness and and and every piece of their life and maybe it's spiritual maybe it's financial maybe it's physical maybe it's emotional relational maybe it's work-related but everybody has brokenness in a lot of different areas and as you work on one area something else will need adjusting and attention as well and so it's really more about learning how to start to develop a pattern of growth in your life and to work with others to develop that growth that's important and I can say that's where I've really found it's important I work I've been I'm probably eight years now and in a CEO group and it's my third group because I've changed and matured into different types of groups and add I found that every year I need that I need to be in that community of men and women that I can talk to and we can communicate and I can work different issues but it's that process of growth that I've learned to love it's that it's that experience it's that method it's that it's the overall relational connections that are really critical in developing a lifestyle of growth and so that's what we're trying to teach people when they come to PacMoore is a life transformation is really falling in love with the idea of that I can grow and develop as a person in community and then I can help others do that and nobody's got a corner on perfection because it doesn't exist we all just keep working and growing together and so I think that's what life transformation really means it back more and that's what we're trying to point people to
