Grossly Competent

Join Steve Counsell and Patrick Aleshire, your faithful - yet hideous - hosts as they share their love of Learning, Adulting, and all that is absurd in their world. If you like learning about careers, adult education, or just making fun of LinkedInfluencers, look no further. Somewhere along the way, you'll no doubt feel better-looking and more competent than ever after listening.

Come for the chat, stay for the laughs, and run from their faces: they're Grossly Competent.

THERE WAS ROOM ON THE DOOR, ROSE! JUST MOVE OVER A SMIDGE!

*Apparently my laptop chose the internal mic rather than my external one. Sorry about that folks, the audio will be much more crisp and beautiful (unlike me) for the next session. Cheers! - Steve*

Anyway, in this episode, hosts Steve Counsell and Patrick Aleshire talk about the importance of authenticity and the balancing act that trust-building can have in learning and development. Of course, in true fashion, Steve and Patrick lose the script and discuss why reading signs is an important life skill and how Steve's pride was dismantled by an Enrique Iglesias groupie.
