When Jamie Huscroft was drafted as a pro hockey player, he knew there were more talented players, but no one worked harder than Jamie.
He’d been playing the game since he was a kid on frozen ponds in the small town of Creston, British Columbia.
This month, Contributors Corner is all about developing yourself through work. For some people, work is simply trading time for money. But our experts believe work can offer so much more. They think personal and professional growth is key to succeeding in the workplace and creating an environment for that to occur doesn’t happen by accident.
So, what can we do to foster a company culture that values development, embraces uniqueness, and encourages learning from mistakes?
“My boss (Dan Rogers) actually told me to not wait for perfection, but to make mistakes at full speed,” says BEATS WORKING host Mark Wright. “That mindset and support can lead to exponential growth and innovation.”
What’s happening where you work to take people to the next level in their development? And what’s your part in making that happen? Get ready for answers and inspiration.
Contributors Corner is a monthly series inviting past guests from the BEATS WORKING podcast to dive deep into a topic to allow shared learning. Our guests this month are Dan Rogers, creator of the BEATS WORKING podcast and man on a mission to redeem work; Dr. James Bryant, a coach, consultant, and podcast host who teaches people in STEM industries how to win at work and home; Dr. Stel Nikolakakis, a coach and vision therapy specialist who helps diagnose and treat a range of disorders by examining how the eyes work; and Jeff Kaas, owner of an industrial furniture manufacturing plant in Mukilteo, WA, who transformed the operation after studying the Toyota Manufacturing Method in the 90s. Since then, tens of thousands have toured his factory to study the magic.
