On the show today I share with you a presentation I did to a packed audience,

What was the topic?

How to develop talent.

Working as a development coach but also being around businesses for the past 20 years I see a lot of good intentions but rarely do the behaviors match up.

1st - are our behaviors matching our intentions?

I will speak about how the company that has invested to bring me in to train the team, its a time where we disconnect and really focus on learning and developing,

What happens? the manager comes in and disturbs the whole session to speak with someone about an on going deal.

2 - disconnect between company goal and personal goal, there is not a clear defined line on what that journey, that vision looks like.

3 - training is so much more than a tick box exercise - how much planning is going into this?

4 - too much flip flopping, no consistency - this creates lack of trust.

5 - listen to the full episode

It is clear that if you want to keep talent you have to be willing to invest, be patient, show growth opportunities, create a culture of learning and be agile to changing of the times.
