Episode Notes Season #6, Episode #1 Are you a crappy trainer I recently spoke to a friend about her experience in her recent Training & Assessment course, it made me furious and prompted some questions to you, my listeners.

Becoming complacent with our delivery as we know the content so well that we forget that the student doesn’t kn ..read more

If you haven't found your passion yet then I can wait to share some insights with you and maybe help you find yours. I have had many discussions over the years where people ask me how did I know what my purpose was, where did this come from, and how will I know what mine is? Its actually difficult to explain as I am not sure how it occurred, I just knew what I was supposed to do and this has continued at different stages of my life.

I found that I worked at such a high capacity really not getting where I needed to go and pay attention to what was The One Thing that was most important. As a recovering ..read more
