Hey, it's Rachel Cook, your modern mentor. I'm the founder of Lead Above Noise, a firm

specializing in activating workplaces, helping you discover ways to amplify performance and employee

engagement together. We do leader boot camps, keynotes, and pulse checks. Just let us know what you need.

So, I love my job. I love lots of things about it.

That I get to be creative, to build relationships with all sorts of people, that I get to help

infuse ease into stressful working situations. And something else I love is the incredible

opportunity I have to spend time in lots of different workplaces.

Across industries, for-profit, nonprofit, you name it, I've hung in it.

This constant dipping in and out, it really allows me to see and feel what teams are

experiencing kind of universally.

Like, there are some things that are pretty unique to tech right now,

and some others to health care, and on and on. But the things that seem to be living and breathing

across it all, that's where I think we have the most to learn together. These days, unlikely

to surprise anyone, it's the extraordinary pace and volume of change, like overnight

whiplash-inducing change. Whether it's priority changes, resources being reallocated,

reorganizations coming down, things are constantly changing on us, and we are just left to keep

going. Frankly, it's kind of exhausting us, but we can't stop or slow

the change. So what can we do? We can build up our resilience and our agility so that we're

better equipped to power through it. And while those admittedly sound like buzzwords, today we're

going to talk about some specific and tangible things that you

can be doing to bulk these essential muscles up. First, give micro re-skilling a shot. So we hear a lot

about the importance of being a continuous learner, always building new skills to stay fresh and edgy.
