Make a Difference, one by one

I love stories, who doesn't. I came across this short story the other day when I was looking at some coaching material. 

It's got me thinking. Wondering. What's the link between this and the work that we do in L&D? Would love to hear your thoughts.

        • Great Monika. EVERYONE can make a difference. Have you seen the marginal gains theory often attributed to Sir Dave Brailsford who took the Sky Cycling Team to new levels?

          If you haven't, well worth a watch. Rather than focus on massive change, he focused on the small bits that when added up made a big difference. The tyres that were used, the chain lubricant, the clothing of the cyclists even down to the beds they slept on the night before the race. Each little step change made a 'marginal' difference that when added together delivered the results they needed.

          That often gets me thinking, what are the little changes we can all make that add up to the big results?

          This video helps to explain some of that story.....

  • Simple but effective story, shows that even the smallest contribution makes a difference.

  • What a lovely video, shows every contribution no matter how small makes a difference and so refreshing to see the younger generation taking the lead.

  • What a lovely story and quite simple in showing the truth- each action is a choice, choose to make a difference no matter if it seems a huge task.

  • A simple but effective story. It's left me with two thoughts. First, a difference can be made to the person who receives it or even if it's just to one person. Second, just because the task seems too large doesn't mean you can't try / help.

  • Even the smallest of gestures can have an massive impact in the person that it is aimed at.

  • act as if everything you do can make a difference because it can
