BUT……

my challenge to you is what are you actually going to do about it?

Have you watched the videos and thought, meh, that sounded good, or have you thought, I’m going to use that idea to help me get better.

And that’s at the heart of the Recruiting Gym, because what we’re trying to do on the Recruiting Gym is help you take an idea and turn it into execution.

Every one of these videos, has a blog attached to it which involves an exercise that you can perform yourself, or you can perform with your team if you’re a manager.  See below for an index to the videos and exercises..

So, are you going to snooze?

Or are you going to get up and do something and make sure you win in 2019?

Thank you very much for watching the series, we’ll be back with another A to Z series in a couple of months time. But until then, enjoy it, and hopefully I get to see you in the Recruiting Gym soon.
