Taking Risks and being uncomfortable

Chris Seider fits in with the millennial generation unapologetically. He watched his dad work his way up from the lowest rung on the ladder to the very top gaining respect every step of the way. With this in mind, Chris wanted to create a name for himself. He has experience in various industries with the meat of his experience in safety.

As a leader, Chris’s goal is to create an environment for a team that is safe for failing and learning. Team members should fill in each other’s gaps.

Episode highlights:

• 5:38 The greatest challenge when starting out is relationship building. You have to learn to present yourself as an expert right out of college when you are working with people who have been doing it for years.
• 8:29 Once you have experience, know the kids right out of college have the newest education and aren’t jaded by years of working in the industry-they are a valuable resource.
• 13:19 Continue to expand and look for new opportunities. If you aren’t feeling growing pains, you aren’t growing in your career. Take those risks!
• 16:13 Teach your children to lean into being imperfect.  Work is about personal challenge and stretching. It isn’t reasonable to never fail.
• 23:40 When things do get uncomfortable - recalibrate. Learn to fail forward. Evolve and change to be different in the future.
