Welcome to today's Sticky Learning Lunch. Last few people arriving. Lee, welcome Victoria. Hello. Thanks for being here again. This is gonna be good. The weather outside is terrible here. My shirt is making up for the difference in the, uh, darkness that is outside the gray. So let's get everyone set up for success before we kick off today.

Nathan Simmonds:

First things first, get the phones out. Let's make sure we're zeroing out the distraction. A hundred percent attention on what it is you are doing right here is, which is looking at your leadership skills and looking at your personal development as a leader or even how you are gonna help to develop your leaders. 'cause this is something that is still vitally missing or vitally important that is missing from modern work, modern society, humanity as a whole. And it's something that I'm very, very passionate about. So phones on silent. Let's eliminate the emails.

Nathan Simmonds:

Let's eliminate all of those distractions which are gonna stop you from learning here. Stage. Second thing, making sure you've got a drink available. Let's keep you hydrated so you can keep your brain lubricated and make this learning stick. And finally, the last stage of setting you up for success for this session. Fresh sheet, fresh thinking. So I want you to find a nice clean page in your notepad. And at the top of that you're gonna write keepers.

Nathan Simmonds:

And the keepers are the things that you wanna remember and the things that you wanna remind yourself about. So when you go back and reread it, it's gonna reignite that thinking. It's gonna get the new ideas forming and get the actions in place to keep you moving forward. Hope this is clear with everyone. I think this is the last few people in the room still look up more arriving. Beautiful.
