37. Developing Your People

In this episode of Power Skills with Janna, we dive into the heart of leadership: Developing Your People. Growing your team isn’t just about skills—it’s about empowering them to own their progress and thrive. We unpack the 70-20-10 model—70% workplace experiences, 20% coaching and relationships, 10% formal training—with a focus on real-world challenges that spark growth. Through stories like a junior employee’s client project boosting retention, she shares tools to assign stretch assignments, foster mentoring, and celebrate progress. Neuroscience shows learning fuels dopamine, driving motivation. Because what you focus on, you amplify.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why the 70-20-10 model transforms development for all career stages.
• How to prioritise workplace experiences (70%) like stretch projects.
• Ways to leverage coaching and peer learning (20%) for trust and growth.
