A well-trained team is a high-performing team 🚀 Each Tuesday we internally host a ‘Tuesday Tune-Up’ session which is designed to give the team an hour each week to come together and learn some key aspects of Firestarter. This week we explored how our core offerings bring value to our clients—what they mean to us and the outcomes clients should expect from working with Firestarter. The benefits we've seen from these sessions include: 🔸Teams stay aligned with company goals and expectations 🔸Creates a shared language and consistent approach 🔸Provides a safe space to practice and refine skills 🔸Builds confidence through structured learning Whether it's weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly - investing in your team's growth is investing in your company's future. What's your approach to team training? How often do you gather for learning sessions? #teamdevelopment #salestraining #professionaldevelopment
