What the Heck is Training Success? Principle #1

Has anyone ever coined this phrase before?

That's my first question (of many), that I will be asking as I begin my journey into all that is new and exciting about the entity known as "blogging".

Some say blogs serve the self-indulged. Other's say they're a vehicle for "soul-cleansing" and "ranting". I've been told that they are a great vehicle for information sharing.

I have one purpose... to help get the word out about a very unique, alternative solution to how companies train their employees. This system can help corporate trainers, human resource managers and small business owners - basically anyone who has a need to deliver ongoing training - by "infusing" you with more energy and more brain power - and radically transforming how you cultivate your people.

I say "radically" because you will have more time on your hands to do what you want and you're employees will be thanking you for it.

This is an open letter to anyone who is charged with the assignment of cultivating and producing people into a productive workforce.

I ask that you read on and visualize your own work environment as you discover for yourself, three principles that can transform how you deliver your training. But first - just a couple of points.

Do you sometimes feel “overwhelmed” with all of the things you need to accomplish on a daily basis? Does your head ache from the constant pressure of keeping “all those balls in the air? Wouldn’t it be great to just sit back, hit a switch and watch your training program ease over to “cruise-control”?

In the next three minutes, you will discover the three most important principles that you absolutely must know if you're life is invested towards cultivating people into a responsible, productive workforce.

However, before we move on - you need to know that following these principles can change the way you train and develop people, can change your motivation levels, can improve employee morale and finally, can totally transform your role in your organization as not just a "trainer" per-say, but a Leader.

A good objective of leadership is to help those that are doing poorly, to do well and to help those who are doing well, to do better. If an employee is struggling - you help them to do better. If a manager can't manage - you help them to manage better. If your company is struggling - you help develop people, faster, with better skill sets to get the job done.

But it's not always that easy......

Here are the 8 Common “Pains” of Today’s Trainers.

1. Absolutely "lost" with current training system that doesn't do the job.
2. Inability to create training material that "makes a difference."
3. High employee turnover rates and poor morale.
4. Training delays caused by lack of focus, decreased communication and no consistent follow-up training plan.
5. No effective way to ensure that regulatory and compliance training is delivered consistently and with impact.
6. Buried in paperwork, administration, scoring tests and compiling data.
7. Too much money already lost and basically "stuck" with no ability to increase ROI.
8. No easy way to quickly determine where employees are in their training, if they're delinquent or if they need more help.

It’s interesting to note that when we introduce this list to corporate trainers, most admit they’ve experienced a combination of “pains” from the list above, not just one.

My team and I work with clients who are now removed from these daily issues. In the process, they’ve been able to leverage their increased productivity and move closer to achieving total Training Success.

TRAINING PRINCIPLE #1
Training Success - What is it?

1. When you're training program is "making a difference".
2. When your program is as productive and enriching as possible.
3. When you can sleep through the night again.
4. Having the "peace of mind" to know that your training is being delivered flawlessly, by an electronic army of assistants that never take a day off.
5. When you can deliver more meaningful one-on-one coaching and mentoring (the "real" training, if you will).
6. When you can "call the shots" and do what you want.. on your own terms!

How can you achieve Training Success? It starts with first understanding your role as a trainer and how it affects the bigger picture. You are not just a teacher of procedures and products. You are a designer. You design learning paths for individuals, a blueprint for growth and development, strategically aligned to the business goals of your organization. For what is training anyway, but an answer for solving problems and achieving your business objectives.

The clearer the path, the more rapid the retention and growth. But again, so many trainers are not designers, really. They can put together some good content, however - through no fault of their own (they've never really been shown a better way) - fail to rally the troops, both trainees and management around their training program. So even from the very start - most training programs are destined to fail.

Increased Employee Morale and Effectiveness!

How important is it that your company “buys into” your training program and as YOU as the trainer? Have you ever wanted to deliver “engaging” course material that could make your training fun and promote the desire to learn more? You can now discover what others already know about delivering meaningful training courses that involve “the senses”.

This is a secret weapon that "elite" corporate trainers
use to increase instant recall, on demand.

How upsetting is it when your employees or trainees don't remember what they've been taught? How frustrating is it when a complaint is logged or a sales call is blown because the employee just didn't apply what they learned during their training?

When the senses are involved, employees learn faster and retain the knowledge longer.
