Are you an intentional property restoration technician and you want to shorten your DANG learning curve for the next steps of your career development?

The DYOJO Way​ teaches us that to be Intentional Restorers, we need to develop the mindset and habits to:
  • Do it Right
  • Do it Efficiently
  • Do it Excellently

Before you can do anything excellently, you must first learn to do it right. Pursue being proficient in technical as well as practical training. The difference between knowledge and wisdom, is knowing how to apply what you have learned to your daily work. As you become skilled in doing things the right way, increase your ability to be efficient with your movements. Contribute to increased production by reducing waste. When you know how to do it right and you have developed the skills to be efficient, you will be able to focus on those little things that enhance your culture and elevate the experience for your client.  
Career development for property restoration technicians who want to be intentional restorers:

​Career development in property restoration, as in most of the skilled trades, will require you to develop the right mindset and habits in customer service. We will address two key components of customer service in this article, communication and cleanliness. 
 
  • If you want to develop your career, you have to be intentional in your personal development. 
  • If you want to attract, develop, and retain good talent for your organization, you have to be intentional in your team’s professional development. 
  • If you want to be an intentional restorer, you must make a constant commitment to develop your mindset and your habits. ​​

​PODCAST
If you want to grow your career as a technician in property restoration, The DYOJO Way will help you achieve your goals:
  • Whatever you do, do it intentionally. 
  • Life is about opportunity, not convenience. Keep your eyes open and volunteer for the assignments that nobody wants so that you can accelerate you access to learning. 
  • As you give, don't be afraid to ask. If you follow the advice above, at some point your willingness to help should be noted as a commitment to growth and be reciprocated by your employer. 
  • Be F-A-T: Faithful, Available, and Teachable. We talk about this principle in my book Be Intentional: Culture.
  • Documentation is key. In property restoration we don't get paid for what we do but for what we document. We discuss this in my book, Be Intentional: Estimating.
  • For many companies in the property restoration industry, Xactimate is a key resource for how estimates are composed and can be utilized to generate workflows for the production team. Learn to use this tool.
