What’s the difference between training and development?

Training to meet customer expectations:

Trainers
Procedures
Manuals
Objective evaluations
Compliance

Development to exceed customer expectations:

Leaders
No procedures
No manuals
Subjective evaluation
Commitment

We lump these two entirely different tools together as “Training and Development”.

Why is that dangerous?

Lost opportunity?

Easy opportunity?

Lost opportunity.

Which team will win, a well-trained and compliant team or an amazingly developed and committed team?

Writing and the first 90 days of 2017

Luck school — Finished Seth Godin’s “What To Do When It’s Your Turn (and it’s always your turn)” yesterday.

Writing and the first 90 days of 2017.

Burn the Ships

A writer would consider herself lucky to have a 90-day, 450 blog-post surplus, the result of her writer’s flood affliction.

However, she would also be panicked if she were desperately behind in her one-year writing quest.

If she was creative (and smart) she’d mash the two together to create Magic.

Writing to feel uncomfortable

selfie with toddler — The daily learning curve continues to be steep for both. And they both thrive on it.

My posts are designed to make me feel uncomfortable.

Maybe you feel (or felt) uncomfortable too.

Not everyone likes this.

i thrive on it.

Oxygen, so to speak.

Why?

The goal with making myself uncomfortable is to challenge me to .think .differently

And the goal with thinking differently is to then reach the point where i no longer feel uncomfortable.

No excuses.

No regrets.

Who doesn’t want that?

Please fail more often

famous start up garages — From LinkedIn. For every story like these, there are thousands that never made it.

Dear son, please fail more often.

Fear and risk are inseparable.

Risk and failure are inseparable.

Failure and growth are inseparable.

To grow, fail.

Son, remember, i want you to do as much of this as possible before you leave home to start your own life.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

The subtly painful truth about growth

Many Glacier Horseback riding — Obligatory photo. From Rising Sun Motor Inn, head East and you’ll you leave Glacier and can drive North a few miles before re-entering Glacier.

Overcoming is the path to growth.

Little did i know yesterday morning that the day would end with a major personal achievement – overcoming a severe fear. And it had nothing to do with horses.

Note to myself for posterity: 08.02 Tuesday breakfast at Many Glacier, Cracker Flats two-hour horseback ride, lunch at Swiftcurrent, relax at Rising Sun, dinner at Logan Pass, Cheryl was not up to hiking Hidden Lake Trail so Chapin and i did the High Line trail entrance. The Highline Trail has always frightened me.
