The most important funding mechanism for your company's growth is the learning and growth of your people. But somehow jobs muffle people's innate desire to learn––they find themselves bored, stagnant, or wanting more at work. In this keynote, you will learn about the S Curve of learningtm, a model for smart growth. We will answer questions like, why, despite the desire to grow, can it be so difficult to start? What Does it take to gain and maintain momentum once people start? And Finally, why do people outgrow things so quickly? The Answers to these questions prepare you to understand the growth process and identify where each person, including yourself, is in his/her growth. When you know where people are on their S Curves, you can help and support them as they move forward. Grow yourself to grow your people to grow your company. That's smart growth.
