Episode 14: Hip Pocket Training: Fostering a Culture of Continuous Learning

Time is a finite resource, but we do have the power to choose how we use it. In this episode of Veteran Led, John Berry will explain the military concept of "hip pocket training" where individuals utilize any available resources and opportunities for learning and skill development. John will apply this concept to the workplace setting and share how encouraging employees to make the most of their downtime can help them unlock their full potential and achieve personal and professional growth.
