About her participation in Foro ERIAC

The most important financing mechanism for the growth of your organization is the learning and growth of your people. But somehow jobs dampen people’s innate desire to learn, they find themselves bored, stuck, or wanting more at work.

In her talk, you’ll learn about the S Curve of Learning™️, a model for smart growth. Questions such as: 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 get over things so quickly? The answers to these questions will prepare you to understand the growth process and identify where each person, including yourself, is in your growth. When you know where people are on their S-curves, you can help and support them as they progress. You will grow yourself to grow your people to grow your organization. That’s smart growth.
