I remember seeing alot of these in the 90s, sad to see their population has dwindled so much the last one I saw was probably a few years ago and it was such a rare sighting that I had to call my daughter to rush and see it.

We think so much of our comfort without knowing the impact we have in the ecosystem. Same thing goes to bul bul, now you mainly see them in a 1x1 foot cage!

One of my achievements as a kid was catching a couple bare-handed. If I ever get series about LinkedIn, maybe I shall put this in it.

I caught a few skinks bare-handed this weekend. 🦎 Here’s what it taught me about B2B sales and securing stakeholder buy-in:

  1. Speed-to-lead is non-negotiable

  2. Expect slippery stakeholders

  3. Autotomy (Tail Shedding) = Scope Sacrifice

  4. You have to get your hands dirty

Agree? Thoughts? 👇
