Understanding the
"Into the Storm" Mindset
When a storm rolls in, cows turn and run. The storm seems to follow them, prolonging their pain. Buffalo do the opposite. They turn and charge into the storm, knowing that even if uncomfortable for the moment, they will get to blue skies faster than by standing in place or running away.
In our experience, those who avoid their challenges never really break through to new levels of performance or results, while those who charge through their proverbial storms often achieve what they want and become better faster.
That’s why the buffalo is our mascot. Into The Storm is a metaphor for courageous leadership, it is a mindset, something powerful that we are determined to share with as many people as possible.
Are you ready to step into the storm and lead your organization into and through the storms ahead?

Joe Jurec

Joe's experience comes from a lot of different places, but a formal college education isn't one of them. A self-proclaimed reformed people pleaser, he now helps people at all career stages embrace conflict and the service side of accountability.

He's led learning and change programs for Sony Electronics & Sears Holdings, scaled SaaS start-ups in Energy, Disaster Prepareness, and Humanitarian Support industries, and has a gnack for Sales & Marketing.
Joe also leads all of CultureShoc's Growth efforts and is slightly obsessed with figuring out new tools & tech. While he's normally more curiosity-led than advice-driven, be warned that if you bring up AI, automation, gig economy or digital marketing...he's probably going to get excited and talk your ear off.
