Our purpose of this conversation was to unpack the definitions of Motivation, Competency and Proficiency, what motivates someone to move from competency to proficiency, what de-motivates someone, and what type of conversations need to be had to resolve the industry gap.

Julie wants viewers to understand the importance of understanding what gets people to go from competency to be motivated to strive for proficiency.

How can leaders encourage proficiency in the workplace? Who is responsible for motivating the workers?

In this episode, Julie has a conversation with the CEO of the Resource Training Council Rodo De Boer to really dig deep to understand how training can support people to strive for proficiency.

(09:20) - What is competency?

(14:10) - What is proficiency?

(15:50) - What does it take for someone to want proficiency?

(27:30) - What Demotivates people?

(29:30) - What does a supportive environment look like?

This was such a great conversation with Rodo De Boer. We would love to hear your feedback and thoughts on this topic. We are fueled by the knowledge that these conversations help people feel more connected and comfortable with having important conversations that make a difference.
