I was at The HR Forum this week doing my ‘How to own change’ talk. It’s the 8th time doing this talk at a real live event.
The centre of the talk stays the same, with five ideas at the heart of the talk. But every time I try to upgrade in some way.
This time I introduced a simple card prompt. Nothing fancy, nothing too complex.
It was great to see people scribbling on it and using it.
When I get home I’ll go through my reflections of the day and find the next upgrade. Probably around creating better looking flipcharts! I don’t use slides, I use flipcharts, but they are usually just a scribbly symbol by the end!
When you are doing something new of course you start with a MVP. But then it’s about building in regular check in points to keep improving.
That way it doesn’t feel overwhelming or like a completely new thing each time. It’s tempting to keep making big changes or even starting again (I thought about changing the whole title at one point) but this new approach to small upgrades is getting me there quicker.
I’ll be Upper Class before the end of the year!
