Dr Eric Cole, you are spot on.
It is always the mindset.
The best aptitude is the right attitude.

Another inspiring coaching session and Dr. Cole challenge to shift, pivot and transform! I especially like the point to avoid words like “all”, “never”, “zero”, which we watch out for closely in Compliance. When hearing those, “hit the BS button!”

CISO focuses "on building a business, growing revenue, increasing margins, and accepting risks".
Make sure you have the CISO mindset besides the skillset.
