Segment 1: Recognizing the Need to Train Yourself
Ask yourself:
Am I feeling less motivated, stuck, or overwhelmed?
Do I find myself going through the motions rather than feeling inspired?
Am I struggling to adapt to new requirements, technologies, or expectations?

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.
Never forget this is your clients learning journey not yours!
What is your delivery like?
Do you know why your learners are there, take the time to get to know their motivation and remember you are there to teach skills and knowledge not talk at people.
Becoming complacent with our delivery as we know the content so well that we forget that the student doesn’t kn ..read more
