I found this idea for discussion in a LinkedIn group and I was curious to hear what my readers and this community would say.

How would you describe what you do professionally in just three words?

My first thought was “help people improve.”  What three words first come to mind for you? Please add a comment to this post.

Let’s work together to build a culture of continuous improvement and psychological safety. If you're a leader looking to create lasting change—not just projects—I help organizations:

  • Engage people at all levels in sustainable improvement
  • Shift from fear of mistakes to learning from them
  • Apply Lean thinking in practical, people-centered ways

Interested in coaching or a keynote talk? Let’s start a conversation.

  6. In three words, the most thing I usually do is to “make people happy”. If they become happy then I will become happy also. What you do to others will also be done to you in return.

  7. Daily Continuing Education,

    While the work is professional, iterative, and not designed to be an education; I approach it as such…

  8. Engage people.

    I think this engagement is critical to all Lean initiatives, from the smallest to the largest. I’m harking back to Spears’ discussion of continuous learning (which I like better than continuous improvement because it has the right center of gravity). The idea of engagement also highlights the eighth waste, of human potential.
