New Blog - The Hidden Costs of Pushing Yourself Too Hard In The Mining Industry
Flipping the Employment Deficit Conversation
The mining sector has a dwindling talent pipeline. We know this, we discuss this, and we often talk about solving this. Our conversations at association meetings, conferences, and in our teams are often directed at how we are going to employ enough people today to meet our supply and demand needs of tomorrow and how the education programs for geoscience and engineering are becoming watered down or worse, are at risk of cancellation.
These are real concerns and valid conversations. These are conversations that, as a sector, require cross-collaborative solutions. As I am forever the out-of-the-box problem solver, I propose another perspective. Keep reading to find out what it is.
Building Your Individual Operational Manual
In today's fast-paced and ever-changing work environment, it has become increasingly important to stand out and showcase your unique skill set and work style. This is where an individual operational manual, or user manual, comes in handy. It is a document that outlines how you work, when you work, and why you work. It can help potential employers, teams, and partners get a clear understanding of who you are and what you bring to the table. Recently, our members had a conversation about the importance of creating an individual operational manual and shared some valuable insights on how to go about it.

In this blog post, we will explore the importance of personal development in professional growth.

As we watch people comment, repost, and like and can’t help but wonder ‘why does this topic cause such a reaction?
