Our founder offers motivation in “teachable moments.” These moments happen when you stop everything to call attention to an important lesson created by the situation at hand. So how do you effectively conduct a teachable moment? The key is to educate through a conversation, not by shouting commands or berating someone. People prefer if you engage them mentally. By asking questions, you give the person the opportunity to figure out the answer and to have their own eureka moment. Empathetic, teachable moments can help employees connect how their daily actions are tied to the company’s vision, mission and goals. Find these, acknowledge them and foster practice of this newfound knowledge.
As founder of Prove Yourself Institute, Dr. Kingsley R. Chin credits his success to feeling the need to prove himself from day one. Dr. Chin lived in the tiny seaside town of Buff Bay, Jamaica, as the eldest of four children to a single teenage mother. Recognizing his situation early in life, he focused on developing the skills needed to better himself and his surroundings. From student-athlete to Ivy League grad, surgeon, investor and educator, Dr. Chin is a self-made millionaire who saw struggle and created success. He strives for greatness with each day he is given and hopes to spread his wisdom and expertise – to the young and young at heart, the rich and poor, the book smart and street smart – to foster a greater world of dedicated, motivated and inspired individuals.
