3 Questions:
- What if instead of ‘up or re-scaling’ the term used was new skilling?
- Language is crucial. The words used are hugely influential. How does use of the positive new skilling term create a willingness to change and develop?
- Versus the ‘up or re-scaling’ which implies a lack in the individual. Whereas it is something new that is needed. Either a different skill or different approach. How aware are we of the impact of the words that we use?
