Sometimes various points in our life may seem random and unguided. Perhaps you think that you aren't sure what it is you are doing? 

But sometimes, if you look back on your own life, these "random" occurrences, and mistakes made along the way were exactly the experiences you needed to get you to where you are today and where you are going.

Making mistakes can be a scary thing, and in today's podcast we have Nicola Osinaike on the show to talk to us about how to overcome that fear and allow our mistakes to make us better people.

To connect with Nicola, reach out to her on her website: https://www.auditdatahub.com/ or through LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolaosinaike/

Many professionals get caught in a CPE mindset when it comes to professional development. A CPE mindset will not get you promotions or new positions. In the knowledge revolution, we have to become lifelong learners - those concerned with learning and growing each day, week, and month - not just completing hours of random CPE each year. Find out how to switch mindsets, increase your likelihood of having your training requests approved, and some questions you can ask yourself to be proactive with your learning opportunities.

In today's podcast we have Guido Van Drunen back on the show to discuss with us how what we are measuring may not be what we SHOULD be measuring. 

While measuring certain data points, it can be easy to create certain situations where we bring about unintended consequences. 

Despite the fact that some of these consequences may not be nefarious in nature, it can lead to quite destructive behavior.

One common example would be that if a company tracks safety metrics, it may lead to employees no longer reporting on the job accidents in order to continue receiving certain incentives. 

So listen in to today's episode and see how policy can be changed for the better.
