Nathan Simmonds:

It's as good as it's gonna get right now. And we have a nice blank piece of paper in front of us ready to go. So on that piece of paper at the top you are gonna write keepers. These are the things that you want to remember here at Sticky Learning at MBM. This is what we refer to the reminders. So when you read back through those notes, it's gonna support your new thinking, your new thoughts, and that new learning to stay in place for a much longer period of time. So let's dive into this day three. Day three of the PDP session. Welcome to Sticky Learning Lunches with me.

Nathan Simmonds:

Nathan Simmons, senior leadership coach and trainer for MBM making Business Matter, the home of Sticky learning. We are the leadership development and soft skills provider for the grocery and manufacturing industry. And the idea of these lunchtime sessions is to help you be the best version of you in the work that you do right now in this situation where you're working from home and preparing you for the return back to work so you have a whole new set of skills and thinking that's gonna help you become more incredible than yesterday.
