What drives you to do this work? I’ve been turning this question over in my head since a job candidate asked it last week. While my answer was immediate it got me thinking about why each of us choose this line of work. It’s difficult. It’s complex. We frequently have to diffuse challenging situations and work hard to gain trust. So tell me – what makes you get up every morning choosing this line of work, choosing the challenge? For me it’s simple – I know the impact thoughtful and thorough investigations can have on the participants and on the outcome. I’m passionate about continuing to push the needle towards trauma-informed, person-centred investigations as a routine way of conducting investigations. I get up each morning wanting to learn, to do better and to constantly refine our processes so that we get the information we need but minimize the risk of harm for the participants. Because we know investigations are often necessary, but they also have the potential to cause additional harm in an already fraught situation. I’m driven by the belief that as a whole, as an industry, we can continue to do better. And that’s what I told this job candidate… So what drives you to get up each day and do this work?

#Personal_Sharing : Do you feel nervous when being asked - questioned by bosses and buyers for an issue happened ? My answer is same as many people - I would believe so : Yes, I feel nervous / I feel stressful/ I feel worry how to talk to them about the issue. You can found a thousand way to lie - But only 1 way to tell the truth. This is what I'm strongly believe in. And I'm a bad liar so I chose to tell the truth - I always say so. When an issue happen, If you run around to found the execute to explain why it happen and you are just one of victims of these things or that things - rather than look into the real root cause and admit your problem, then you will never can improve. You can lie first time and then you will need to lie 2nd time , and could be 3rd time. My advise to my team / my partner : if any issue happened, each of us need to look into our area to see and question ourselves first: are we doing correctly ? If not, what was the root cause ? Dont look into other team and blame them for their mistake even it's related to your area. For me, there is nothing like : because of this person did not do well, so it affects to me and my result would not be good. You got pay to do your job/ work properly. So if you did not do it well, correct it before talk about others. This is my way of thinking. Trust build from the transparency. To build the trust, it's not easy. Especially build the trust from bosses/ buyers. But once you gain their trust, then your job - your life would be much more better. So it's up to you to chose the way you work - but the result will always come back as per the way you handle things.

It's been a cold day here in the UK today, with some areas even dusted with snow. Days like this remind me how much we crave warmth – whether it’s from a cosy corner inside or a heartfelt conversation over a good cup of coffee. Earlier today, I had the pleasure of a warm chat over a coffee, and it really was clear how much value there is in listening. In truly hearing what others have to say – their challenges, their successes and their aspirations – we create something more than a transactional relationship. We create trust. At The Listening Co., this philosophy forms the backbone of our independent client feedback programs. Just as we seek out the comfort of warmth on a chilly day, businesses seek the comfort of knowing their clients feel valued, understood and heard. Feedback isn’t just about addressing complaints, it’s about fostering a dialogue that leads to growth, loyalty and shared success. As the cold settles in, it’s worth reflecting - are we taking the time to listen to what’s really being said? In the same way we welcome warmth, our clients and colleagues welcome understanding. Let’s make it a habit to listen better and to let that listening guide us toward something greater. How are you staying warm – physically and professionally – as winter begins?

Valuable career advice from Art Markman on mastering the art of "managing up"- a crucial skill for GenZ looking to optimize communication with their managers. His insights echo advice I received early in my career from supportive mentors like Joanne Graf, Peter Campbell, Natasha Chen, and Jim Palmer. Inspired by Art’s guidance, here are 5 key principles that have helped me communicate effectively and build trust: 🌟 Set the context of the situation – provide clarity and perspective. 🎯 Outline your objective – be concise about what you aim to achieve. 🤔 Stay open-minded – avoid assuming you know everything. 💡 Bring a potential solution – show initiative in problem-solving. 😌 Don’t sweat the small stuff – focus on the big picture. These practices have been essential in my career journey, helping me approach workplace challenges thoughtfully and communicate with confidence. #CareerAdvice #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerGrowth #Mentorship #LeadershipSkills #YoungProfessionals #JobCoach #CareerManagement #SuccessTips #ManagingUp #MentorshipMatters #CareerCoaching #GenZ #CommunicationSkills #LeadershipAdvice #DontSweatTheSmallStuff

My Number One Trust Builder? Reliability. ✅ Consistent Action: Do what you say, every time. Make your actions so predictable that people can rely on them without a second thought. ✅ Intentional Approaches: Approach each task with purpose and deliberation. Let your work be guided by thoughtful decisions that reflect your commitment to reliability. ✅ Attention to Details: Sweat the small stuff. It’s often the tiny, overlooked elements that make or break the trust others place in you. ✅ Responsive to Environmental Cues: Be keenly aware of what is happening around you. Adapt and respond in a manner that underscores your dependability. ✅ Show Up: Look for every opportunity to present yourself as the steadfast figure in any team or relationship. Your consistent presence will speak volumes. Trust is built through a series of moments. Seize each one to demonstrate that you are reliable. It truly is that simple - and yes, it's that hard, too. But the reward? Unshakeable trust, the cornerstone of every meaningful connection.

Hello everyone 👋, I'm back to discuss a misconception that's been creeping into our field over time. Despite being a fundamental aspect of control activities, it's often overlooked due to pressure and trust. Let me illustrate this with a story. A professional had worked with a top-performing team member for years, consistently delivering high-quality work on time. Over time, the professional grew to trust this team member implicitly, accepting his reports without thorough review. However, when a minor discrepancy appeared in a report, a new team member caught the error and brought it to the professional's attention. Surprised, the professional realized that his trust had led him to compromise his skepticism 🤦♂️. Together, they corrected the error and resubmitted the report. From then on, the professional made a conscious effort to balance trust with skepticism, ensuring that pressure to meet deadlines wouldn't degrade their scrutiny. The misconception is this: Trusting a colleague or team member means I don't need to verify their work 🙅♂️. However, trusting a colleague is important, but it doesn't replace the need for professional skepticism and verification. Trust and verification aren't mutually exclusive. Verifying a colleague's work doesn't imply a lack of trust; rather, it ensures that the work meets required standards and maintains integrity. Thanks for reading, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts!💬

ATNC Thought of The Day: Reliability is Key: Being reliable is crucial in both personal and professional relationships. If you constantly make promises but fail to follow through, it can damage your reputation and credibility. Could you take a moment to reflect on your reliability and commit to being someone others can count on? Accountability Matters: Holding yourself accountable for your actions is essential. If you say you're going to do something, make sure you follow through. Don't get upset when others hold you accountable for your commitments. It's a sign of respect and shows that they value your word. Seeking Truth: If you recognize that you struggle with reliability and follow-through, it's important to seek help and make changes. Don't let flakiness define you. Reach out for support and guidance to become a more dependable and trustworthy individual. If you resonate with these takeaways and want to break free from flakiness, I invite you to message me the word "truth." Let's work together to help you become a more reliable and accountable person. Remember, consistency and integrity are key to building strong relationships and achieving success. Let's strive for excellence together! 🌟 #Reliability #Accountability #PersonalDevelopment
