🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇Friday Five Tips & Tricks🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇

Today marks one year since I partnered with John Miller to emphasize the importance of taking time to inspect and adapt. Our efforts have resulted in significant personal and professional growth over the past year. By deliberately slowing down to learn and reflect, we have acquired new techniques and enhanced our skills. It's taken our time; however, the results of slowing down to speed up have produced more business and increased our skills as trainers.

It's puzzling why organizations often overlook the value of dedicating time to learning and reflecting, as this approach can lead to numerous missed opportunities. So we challenge you take time to speed up.

🎇 Here's our Friday 🎇 Five Tips & Tricks to up your game!🎇

1. Find an improvement buddy: Seek out colleagues with skills or knowledge that you may wish to gain. John and I are opposites. His strengths are my weaknesses, and vice versa. He's taught me patience to prosper and the importance of working on quality and complementary to your own and who are willing to engage in a peer learning partnership.

2. Schedule Regular Check-Ins: Set up biweekly virtual meetings to discuss progress, share insights, and reinforce learning.

3. Set Clear Learning Objectives: Establish specific biweekly learning goals, such as mastering a new software tool or refining presentation skills, and work with your partner to achieve them.

4. Utilize Collaboration Tools: To facilitate joint learning activities, leverage virtual collaboration tools such as shared documents, video conferencing, and online whiteboards.

5. Provide Constructive Feedback: Encourage the exchange of constructive feedback to support each other's growth, such as providing suggestions for improving a presentation or troubleshooting code during a collaborative coding session.

Had such a great time the past two days with this group. Two day virtual Certified Scrum Master workshop. I was a little reluctant when we first went virtual but it’s so awesome to see that online classes aren’t boring and can provide a hands on experience! Scrum Alliance
