Whether you're a long-time listener or new to the show, join me in taking a moment to realign and ensure your systems are working for you, not against you.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I’m not doing enough,” even while you’re holding everything together? You’re ticking boxes, keeping things running, supporting others — and still that little voice creeps in saying, “Are you sure you’re getting this right?”. Welcome to Lead the Standard!

In this episode of Lead the Standard with Auditor Training Online, I explore why having 15 nonconformances before an audit is actually a win. Often perceived as a negative, nonconformances are a powerful tool for continual improvement and transparency. I discuss how logging these issues doesn't indicate failure but showcases a well-functioning system. Inspired by a conversation with a client concerned about nonconformances, I explain why auditors prefer to see them as they reflect a commitment to quality and improvement. I also introduce a non-conformance workflow model designed to help organizations identify, record, and address these issues effectively. Join me as I break down the steps to transform nonconformances into opportunities for growth, ensuring your management system is robust and credible.
