Do you learn in the open? It's a trait that the most effective experts display. When you're confident in what you know, you're able to engage in transparent discourse in the public sphere. This is not only beneficial for internal growth, it also helps to grow those around you. I'm not perfect, but I strive to learn in the open everyday. I know what I know, but I also know what I don't know.

Absolutely, engaging in a community of practice is indeed a powerful strategy for continuous growth. It allows individuals to collaborate, share experiences, and learn from each other. This collective learning environment fosters innovation and knowledge sharing, which can lead to personal and professional development. By participating actively in such communities, one can stay updated with the latest trends, gain new insights, and continuously refine their skills. It’s a dynamic way to ensure growth remains an ongoing journey.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗰𝘁: 𝗔 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 Excitement bubbles when a potential client calls. We envision a long-term partnership, fostering growth and impact. We meticulously craft proposals, sharing our expertise and passion. Hours melt away in research, consultations, and presentation prep – all with the hope of building a lasting relationship. Then, the performance. We pour our energy into creating an engaging experience, witnessing the "learning aha" moments and the joy of learning. But sometimes, the curtain falls with radio silence. No follow-up, no future plans, just a lingering sense of being disposable. That's the feeling some trainers get when corporations and colleges treat us as "one-time use" resources. Trainers aren't interchangeable props. We're passionate educators, constantly refining our craft. Each project is a culmination of years of experience, tailored to the audience's specific needs. Imagine a doctor who sees you only once, disregarding your medical history – that's how the "one-time use" approach feels. However, the "one-time use" mentality we sometimes encounter from corporations and colleges can feel like a missed opportunity. Here's why: 📌 Building trust and understanding takes time - A long-term partnership allows us to tailor future programs based on the organization's specific needs and successes from previous engagements. 📌It's a two-way street. Just as trainers continuously upskill, organizations benefit from experienced trainers who understand their culture and context. Transparency is key! Clear communication about the nature of the engagement (one-time or ongoing) allows both parties to make informed decisions. This fosters mutual respect and a collaborative environment. Let's shift the paradigm. Trainers aren't "disposable." We're valuable partners in your learning and development journey. Let's move towards building long-term partnerships. Imagine the impact: trainers who understand your culture, tailor programs to your evolving needs, and create a continuous learning loop. So, the next time you reach out to a trainer, I would suggest that you consider a long-term collaboration. It's a win-win for everyone, and it might be the start of a beautiful learning journey! Fellow trainers, share your stories in the comments! Let's rewrite the narrative together. #theupskillstudio #trainerlife #emotionalintelligence #learningpartnerships

⚠️ In the world overloaded by "Trainers", be mindful to check for their Credentials, Work and Reliability. 🧠 Trainers are Professionals who condense years of work for your organization's development- trust them wisely. ✨ Don't let the Shiny Object Syndrome deviate you from the Actual Learning Process- instead of hopping, trust stable long term engagement. #trainer #od #organizationaldevelopment #university #learning
