MY METHOD

  • Educate

    This is the foundational stage where knowledge and skills are imparted. Education is crucial because it lays the groundwork for critical thinking, problem-solving, and learning-specific competencies. In an organizational context, education can be formal training sessions, workshops, or ongoing learning and development initiatives that keep employees updated with industry standards and new technologies.

  • Elevate

    Once the educational foundation is set, the next step is to elevate. This involves taking the knowledge and skills acquired and pushing towards higher achievements and improved performance. Elevation can be seen in the application of learned skills to achieve more complex goals or innovative outcomes. It often involves mentoring and coaching to help individuals excel beyond basic competencies, enhancing their capabilities and confidence.

  • Empower

    Empowerment is when individuals or organizations are given the autonomy and authority to make decisions and act on their knowledge independently. Empowerment is critical for fostering initiative and leadership. It's about trusting that the education and elevation have equipped them with the necessary tools and judgment to act effectively. Empowerment can lead to more innovative solutions, greater employee satisfaction, and stronger adherence to organizational goals as individuals feel valued and capable.

Each step in the sequence of educating, elevating, and empowering builds upon the last. Education provides the foundation by enabling knowledge acquisition. Elevation then promotes the application and improvement of this knowledge. Finally, empowerment allows individuals the freedom to fully utilize their skills to meet personal and organizational goals.
