Resin Jack is not a big user of social media but you will find weekly troubleshooting posts on LinkedIn

After 25 years in the protective coating industry, I can say that most people searching the internet are either seeking Information, Knowledge or Wisdom. So what is the difference and does it that matter?
Information - There is no shortage of information online. In fact there is too much information, so how do you go through enough information to develop your own knowledge? Where do you get your information. Can you trust the information provided enough to risk a project on it? Afterall mistakes in our industry are typically expensive.
Knowledge is information distilled into courses, books, videos that are designed to pass the knowledge from one
person to another.
AI is being used more and more to distil information into knowledge but where does AI get its information from? What sources are used. AI
can be useful but do not allow it to think for you or you firstly never actually understand “why” you are doing something a certain way and
secondly you will become more and more dependent on AI.
Wisdom comes from years of gathering information, converting relevant information into knowledge and then putting knowledge into practice and while practising you are constantly reviewing, optimising and improving the practices over many years. In my case 25 years.
Jack Josephsen became known as “Resin Jack” while sitting on the committee to create a new Flooring Technology qualification in
Australia.
Driving this qualification through to government endorsement was not only critical to the Australian industry but it provides a foundation
for the global industry on the journey to "make resin flooring mainstream".
Having a formal qualification for our industry means that resin installers are proudly able to have a recognised trade. However the
qualification is only the start and now the industry needs to work together to continually improve its practices, set standards and
establish an industry voice. To achieve this requires a contribution from all stakeholders including installers, manufacturers, specifiers
and industry trainers.
Having spent the past 10 years to establish the foundation, Resin Jack continues to support the various stakeholders that wish to
advance themselves personally, their company or their profession within the industry.
Having a background in product formulation and manufacturing means that ResinJack can provide detailed, technical product support. Having
overseen flooring installation onboard navy ship projects for over 15 years, as well as residential, retail and commercial projects ensures
that project support is comprehensive. Finally with a proven passion for the industry, ResinJack will continue to provide industry support
whether that is for Resin Flooring International, national industry associations or training organisations that want to deliver resin
flooring training and assessment.
The way in which ResinJack provides support varies depending on the situation but the emotional outcome he focusses on is always to provide
clarity, direction and confidence.
Sometimes Jack is required to be a teacher, sharing knowledge and experience. There is no shame in asking questions for we all started with
zero knowledge so Jack's natural patient and understanding approach ensures no way feels judged.
Most of the time, Jack is providing a form of coaching as most people have some experience and understanding and they are just wanting
support to advance to the next level.
Finally there are some that have built a relationship with Jack and wish to continue more as a mentoring role that enables them to sound
board ideas, seek independent advice that is not usually available in our industry or just be able to share in the daily challenges that we
all face. After all, everyone has felt the loneliness of not being able to ask anyone.
If you feel you could benefit from the courses or one-on-one mentoring from ResinJack then fill out the contact from today.
