We dove deep into the challenges and triumphs of a career in this field, and I can't wait to share the three key takeaways from our conversation with you all. ๐ง1: Take Care of Your People: Jeff emphasized the importance of investing in your team and helping them grow both professionally and personally. It's not just about training them, but also fostering a positive culture and building strong relationships. By doing so, you not only retain great employees but also attract new talent. Remember, being a better employer makes you a better person too! ๐ค๐ผ2: Your Health Matters: As Jeff rightly pointed out, if you're a technician, chances are your back will eventually start to hurt. It's a physically demanding job, and taking care of your body is crucial. Don't wait until it's too late to prioritize your health. Remember, once your body wears out, it may impact your ability to continue working in the industry. So, take proactive steps to maintain your well-being. ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ๐ช3:Continuous Improvement is Key: Our industry is constantly evolving, and staying ahead of the curve is essential. Jeff stressed the importance of learning and adapting to new technologies and techniques. Whether it's through courses, workshops, or networking with industry experts, never stop seeking knowledge. By embracing change and continuously improving your skills, you'll not only enhance your career prospects but also contribute to the overall growth of the industry. ๐๐งI hope these takeaways resonate with you as much as they did with me.
