Скачать или смотреть Kyle Probert on How To Connect With Your Team To Achieve Your Business’ Purpose

Training a team is all about communication, setting goals, and having an overarching purpose.

But how can you communicate correctly and make sure your team is aligned with what you want for your business?

Kyle Probert is a service engineer who has transcended his skills as a technician and works as the leader of APT Hydraulics. The overall purpose of his business is to help hydraulics engineers be safer, more efficient, and fulfilled in their careers by providing the necessary training.

Sounds straightforward enough, right?

However, he knows he wouldn't be able to do it alone and has gone through the trials and tribulations of building and leading an amazing team. To save you all the trouble he shares his tips with us today.

As he puts it, when you are trying to teach something and people don’t get it, it’s not their fault, it’s yours!

In this episode, Kyle teaches us that preparing your processes so that your team can grow and thrive is even more important than the day to day work that you do. This is a thought that he passes onto team members so that they can practice on land before diving into the sea.

We talk about the importance of visualization. From when you are surfing to when you’re doing business and you’re thinking about the next move you’re going to make.

He also notes that talking to your team about your vision makes it more real for them. It gives them something to visualise and work towards that is more than a paycheck. This has lead to team members that are more invested in their own growth as well as the growth of their company because they understand this is something bigger than them.

He has learned the hard way that without accountability, the virtues a business aspires to can get lost in the process.

Key takeaways & quotes

We can rehearse our skills before being at the place where we will be actually practicing them. You can train and rehearse for what you want to achieve wherever you are in your journey.
“It’s the reps you do in the land that makes the biggest difference in the water.”

Creating a network instead of a hierarchy can be the best way to successfully run a business.
“Vulnerability is one of the main pieces of creativity, if you can’t be vulnerable you can’t have creativity.”

Planning and implementing are not the same thing. It is necessary to set one hour a week to start executing new ideas and developing projects.
