“A trusted advisor is a strategic business partner embedded in the business. Who understands the business and is driving value for the organisation.”
The question is, how do we become one? And unpick ourselves from the position of being an order taker?
DR. Keith Keating, author of The Trusted Learning Advisor, explains all in this episode.
We discuss why we end up in the order-taker lifecycle, why we should become trusted learning advisors and some of the key steps for getting us there, why willingness to learn and understand our audience are critical, overcoming resistance and much more.
