GAINcast with Vern Gambetta

On last week's GAINcast we looked at best practices in talent identification. But as we said, talent identification means nothing without talent development. On this week's episode we dive deeper into talent development and look at how to best put a system in place that gets the most out of the talent you have identified. After all, talent only equals potential, not success. For more information on this topic, read the complete show notes at: http://www.hmmrmedia.com/2017/08/gaincast-episode-79-talent-development/

Talent is a divisive topic, but it is hard to argue that you can create a champion without any talent. Properly identifying and nurturing that talent is therefore a key element of high performance. On this episode we discuss the complexity of talent, how to approach it as a coach, and Vern's multi-step approach talent identification.
