This week we are proud to have a conversation with a truly awesome industry professional and leader, Lydon Smith. Lydon is a Regional Director for TeamSport Go Karting and he describes his career and learnings authentically and with truth. Lydon brings a new story to Love Your Career Podcast today as he has worked and grown in fitness but has seen the opportunity to take his skills in new areas. Areas like caravan sales in holiday parks, trampoline parks as well as Go Karting.
Lydon and I cover keys areas and he gives his real story on topics like:
- Importance of a narrative when recruiting in sectors that are perhaps not well known or new.
- Tips for candidates in how to interview - there are lots!
- Tips for hiring managers to relax candidates and then to get their best.
- Importance of being present with your team and helping both your team and your leadership.
- Importance of feedback on your journey and seeing the learnings. Feedback and failure being so important.
- Trust first - the team performance and what you are looking for stems from this first.
- Think long term, growth and marginal gains.
- Influences on him, both people as well as books - mainly sport inspired.
- Chatting about the changes in modern recruitment like the importance of candidate experience, speed, honesty and tech.
- Identifying common traits in successful people.
