Guest Blogger Today At Talking Story

03.24.2005 | Chris Bailey | Focused on Creative,Life,Work

I talked about reinvention earlier this week. Well, today’s my day to add more to the conversation at Rosa Say’s Talking Story. The title of my post is Let’s Reinvent Professional Development in Our Organizations. Based on my experience, professional development is treated like a job perk, rather
than as a systemic part of the organization’s greater purpose of
growing its business and its people. In my post, I advocate for a new way of thinking and put out a new term to consider.

So, what are you waiting for? Go and visit Talking Story.

If you’ve never been to Talking Story, take some time to explore Rosa’s blog and discover some wonderful ways to reinvent the relationship between manager and employee. Then do yourself a big favor and buy her book, Managing with Aloha. You’ll not find a more soulful and passionate advocate for artful management out there. Mahalo nui Rosa for your friendship and mentoring.

    I am a regular reader of Talking Story as well as Alchemy so I was thrilled to hear that the two were coming together today. I really liked what you had to say about a companies role in personal professinal development. Each company has so much to gain by looking at each person as an individual and helping to develop them accordingly. Thanks for finally spelling out what we were all thinking

    Jay, it’s always a treat and honor to connect with Talking Story and Rosa’s audience. I think companies can view professional development from a place of fear; that they will development their employees only to see them move on to another company. In simple economics, it’s no longer a good investment. In order to help organizations embrace a culture of livelihood learning, it’s important that we understand how to speak the language of business leaders. We’ll need to search for was to use familiar terms like ROI and investment but frame the conversation around the people who comprise the soul of the organization. Lots more here to explore for sure. Thanks for your warm words and comments.
