Day 9: “Be a trampoline, not a sponge!”

As I continue my induction period I spend a lot of time listening, as I learn about the organisation and people I have joined.  Sometimes I feel like a sponge just soaking up all the information.

This Linked In Post by Kenny Gibson resonated most with me; particularly the bit about being a trampoline not a sponge.  For me, this means not just listening as a passive process where you solely ‘receive’, but reflect back what you have heard, describe through your lens and if possible enhance what you’ve heard to add value to what has been shared with you.
