<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We used to say don’t bring your feelings to work, but what if our feelings and the way we show up and make others feel actually has a big impact on our own success and career trajectory? This week, Tom is joined by Trevor Blondeel, founder of Operations Kickstart. Through his speaking, writing, and coaching, Trevor works with manufacturers to remove roadblocks and connect the top to the shop floor. Tom and Trevor explore why the way that you show up matters, how to even gauge the way you are showing up and impacting others, and what to do when you get some honest feedback you weren’t expecting. Trevor shows some real-world and practical examples of what it looks like when you show up better for your team. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On today’s podcast, you will learn:</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>What does it really mean to show up better for your team? </strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How people feel and how we make people feel determines the extent to which they are going to engage with us. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Communication is important, and especially for engineers and manufacturers, we can remove roadblocks when we are able to communicate to others in a clear and friendly manner. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Times have changed in the workplace and we are now recognizing that people aren’t one-dimensional robots that lose their personality once they come to work. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The more people feel connected at work, the more engaged they will be. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">We want to aim for a long-term connection with our team. </span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Why does your social network matter? </strong></
