*The Mitchells vs. The Machines* is a fun animated film with a deeper message. It shows how families can bridge differences in a tech-filled world. At its heart, the film uses the **D.A.K.O.T.A. Character** framework: **Determination, Awareness, Knowledge, Optimism, Trust, and Accountability**. These traits help the Mitchells save both the world and their bonds. Here, **Knowledge** isn't just facts. It means understanding right from wrong and having the courage to act rightly, even when it's tough. Each member of the Mitchell family grows and reconnects as they face challenges together.

“I don’t have time for fluff! I need a new sales growth strategy for my business!” I’m talking to Graham, the owner of a software development company. I hear the panic in his voice. “It’s more difficult than ever to get new business. Prospects are hesitant to spend money. The economy seems unpredictable.” I ask a few more questions and listen to his concerns. Then, I talk about “trust” and “making a positive impact.” Over Zoom, I see him frown. That’s when he says, “I don’t have time for fluff!” As a sales leader, do you echo Graham’s sentiments?
