**Tip 4 of 28 - L&D Elevator** This might be a super quick task for you. Or it might be your life's work. Maybe something in between? But a critical question to ask. ❓ Ask it of yourself ❓ Ask your manager ❓ Ask your stakeholders You could get some insight from evaluations, sure. But I'd love you to think more broadly than any kind of intervention. 💹 Can you add value by how you're working with people? 💹 How you challenge their thinking? 💹 The ideas and insights you bring to the discussions? And if you're not feeling you're adding enough YET, there's plenty of ideas over the next weeks :) #learninganddevelopment #morethanamushroom #makerealprogress ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Throughout March ... and a little into April too - I'm bringing 28 tips and ideas on how In-house L&D folk can elevate themselves and the L&D role. I'm passionate about great L&D and the value it can add. It's so much more than training. And often, there's a business perception that L&D = 'training'. Which is a risky place to be (hello cost centre in a low budget environment) And can lead to you feeling like a mushroom: 😎 Seen as the 'fun guy' that comes along and entertains / trains people. 🌒 And as a result of that reputation, get 'kept in the dark' 😢 Which makes it harder to add the value Want to be more than a mushroom? Follow along, share, add your own thoughts and ideas - all welcome.

We have a serious problem. Stress levels are through the roof and the impact it's having on our personal lives and work performance can't be ignored. As a whole, the Construction Industry just seems to accept it, as if it's "just the way it is". Meanwhile, they're DYING inside!!! I promise you, it's not "just the way it is". It certainly doesn't have to be. But we have to stop accepting the status quo. We have to stop listening to the negative nay-sayers and we have to stop settling for half-filled lives. We've gotta' get the tools, the fresh mindsets, the strategies and the knowledge to stay in control of our attitudes, actions and behaviors, regardless of what's happening around us. And it isn't just a one time thing. Like a car needs routine maintenance and tune-ups, so to do we as humans! This industry is hurting not because of policies or market challenges. It's hurting because personal & professional development isn't a priority. And people are burning out, discouraged, disengaged and just going through the motions. No energy. No vibrancy. No excitement. It hurts my heart and fires me up. And that's why I do what I do. That's why my business exists. So back to this workshop 💁🏻♀️ This is tailored to subcontractors and other sales reps in the building industry, residential and commercial. In my experience and my client's experiences, lower stress levels lead to higher sales dollars and so this is what we'll be focusing on. A link is in the comments to register. I hope to see you there. If you've read to this point, message me and I'll send you a prize 😉 #constructionindustry #buildingindustry #subcontractors #manufacturers #salestraining #salescoaching #stressmanagement #wellbeing #employeedevelopment #personalgrowth #professionaldevelopment
