Richard Wilson: choosing a few actions from a training buffet
Richard compared his Rainmaker Series with a breakfast buffet. He said listeners would receive more ideas than they could use immediately and should choose a few to put into place.
The amount of material exceeded immediate use
He used the buffet example to explain why he did not expect every strategy to be implemented at once. The listener could choose what was useful for the current situation. His analogy concerned making use of a large body of training.
He gave a selection size
Richard said he hoped listeners would pick up three or four things across the 17 modules. He connected that selection with combining changes.
In Richard C. Wilson's words
"pick up three to four things" (Richard C. Wilson, recorded Rainmaker Series module)
