Lucid Builder Badges: Unlock Your Full Potential in Lucid đŸ„‡

badges

The fact that we’re adults doesn’t mean we don’t still need the praise and recognition we used to get when we made the honor roll in school or scored a goal in soccer.

The time-period for trophies, badges, and public praise shouldn’t end when we become adults. If anything, it should be ramping up.

The Lucid Builder Badges will help you achieve the recognition you deserve, because they demonstrate to your professional network that you are too legit to quit.

A proudly displayed Lucid Builder Badge gives “I can do anything” energy. It shows the people you work with that you are a lifelong learner, always hustling, growing, and expanding your areas of expertise.

Sure, a Lucid Builder Badge might not bring tears of joy to your mother’s eyes (who may or may not be a grandmother at this point). But you’re not doing it for her. You’re doing it for YOU.

First, let’s see what type of environment our Lucid Champions prefer for online learning.

There were two common themes in the responses: a quiet room, and a hot beverage. Who would have thought that in 2023, a quiet room and a hot beverage would be so effective?
