The Do Your Own Job Dojo (DYOJO)

The DYOJO is The Do Your Own Job Dojo. A dojo is a space dedicated to learning and practicing martial arts. In this dojo we help growth minded professionals and people in a position of leadership to develop ownership and accountability in the pursuit of excellence. 

​In business teamwork is essential to an organizations ability to perform at the peak of its capacity. Teamwork must be grounded in trust. The foundation for trust to be built among multiple employees who will be empowered to work with each other, is laid by team members who consistently do their job.

In this equation, those in leadership can help this process evolve by clarifying roles and responsibilities for all employees. ​

Personal and Professional Development:

In the original Karate Kid movie, Sensei (teacher/master) John Kreese states the distinctives of the Cobra Kai Dojo:

• Fear does not exist in this dojo, does it? 
• Pain does not exist in this dojo, does it? 
• Defeat does not exist in this dojo, does it?​

From the example of Karate Kid, we see the difference in the people, process, and production of those trained by Sensei Kreese and karate master Mr. Miyagi. By all appearances, the process Mr. Miyagi utilizes for skills training would not produce a championship level fighter and his young apprentice Danny frequently questions his progress. The climax of the movie reveals that the skills and heart of young Danny has been mentored and developed to persevere through rise to the challenge in the face of an opponent is superior by most metrics.

Mentorship and Coaching for Achieving Goals:

When you commit to studying a martial art, you must find a mentor who you believe will help train you to master the craft you have chose and you must remain engaged in your skills development. The same is true in business. It is your job to pursue personal and professional development so that you can reach your potential. As you grow as a leader, you have a responsibility to repeat the process and help others to achieve their goals.
