Training Your Trainers
Just because a person has 5, 10, 15, 20 + years in their profession does not mean he or she can adequately teach a snowman how to make a snowball (something you would think a snowman would already be well versed in).
Or, if you are using inexperienced employees as trainers, AND they have little to no training themselves, you are setting
Just because a person has 5, 10, 15, 20 + years in their profession does not mean he or she can adequately teach a snowman how to make a snowball (something you would think a snowman would already be well versed in).
Or, if you are using inexperienced employees as trainers, AND they have little to no training themselves, you are setting your organization up to suffer problems in the future. All you are doing is repeating, duplicating, and compounding the bad habits of previous trainers.
With my combination of education and experience I am uniquely qualified to train your trainers. I will teach them more effective communication skills, the fundamentals of adult learning, and ways to better adapt their approach to each learner.
I will also show them why, as trainers, it is their job to be examples of the rules, NOT exceptions to the rules.

"It isn't just expert knowledge that is important! As anyone who had a bad teacher in school will attest to. All the knowledge in the world won't help you if you don't know how to impart your wisdom to others. "

I believe it was Albert Einstein that said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!" Look at the astronomical turn over rate across all industries. What we've been doing so far hasn't worked, and yet we just keep doing it.
Many companies that are struggling in todays markets should consider taking a fresh look at their perspective and expectations with regards to training and their trainers.
Trainers are in an EXCELLENT position to be team leaders, operational examples, coaches, and mentors. For decades trainers have been a drastically under utilized organizational asset. It is your trainer / mentors that play an incredibly important role in employee performance and retention! It only makes sense that trainers / mentors be the "Go -to" for ALL of your organization. With that being said, let me ask you this. Are your trainer / mentors appropriately trained for that role?
I believe, a companies trainers should be the example of the rules. Not the exception to the rules. Just about the time a trainer starts bending the rules and taking short cuts, members of your team will notice it immediately! Whether the thought is conscious or not, the thought of, "If he / she doesn't follow the rules why should I?" will flood your team. Here again... Are your trainers properly vetted and trained for that role?
Drop me a line. Let's see if perhaps I can help.
