Training

Training has many facets from

• technical
• physical (this could be in the form of occupational health and safety),
• life skills,
• leadership,
• relationships,
• trust,
• communication, and the old favourite that sometimes seems to have been totally overlooked -
• quality customer service!

Everyone needs training to develop. Some people don’t appreciate training and unfortunately they are often the ones who need it most. If we don’t grow we stagnate and then slowly go backwards…

Others appreciate training although not necessarily the particular type of training they are involved in and guess what – that’s life. As a teacher, trainer, tutor, coach of over 20 years, we understand that a really good day is picking up and motivating or even inspiring 85% of the audience or class. 5% may never be interested, another 5% may have other things happening in their life while the remaining ones are probably ambivalent – they are most likely not into much of anything.

Inspirational teachers whether they be at schools or universities, or coaching sporting teams or motivational speakers or pastors really understand how special and miraculous really making a difference can be. This is why movies such as ‘Coach Carter’ are so popular. Leaders who buck the system and go out on a limb because they really care for those in their care are rare and unfortunately many just burn out too early and so may only be around in that role for a year or so. This morning I was privileged to hear one such motivational speaker live – the former No 1 women’s tennis player in the world, Margaret Court. She was speaking on honour and how we must honour our parents, our teachers, our elders, and those in authority. She explained how only then can be teachable. Coupled with this she highlighted the point of honouring your word – being a person of integrity. Do you follow through with what you have promised? Or do you say yes and not mean it? Especially youth respond to adults who honour their word and have integrity. I honestly believe that many of today’s issues are caused by hypocricy ie people not walking out their commitments and promises.

Team members have trained staff, mentored people both younger and older, in a variety of countries across different continents. Cathy in particular has a strong background in teaching and training people from 4 – 70 years old, in languages (English or English as a foreign language, Indonesian), careers and enterprise, swimming and water safety, office administration, hospitality, just to name a few. Importantly for all of these areas, she has diverse work and life experience.

We both see training as part of the company’s purpose and commitment to lifelong learning and reaching for excellence.

Gladly at least in Australia, the move to competency based training and also adult learning techniques makes training more attractive for both employers and employees.  Train the trainer and Workplace Assessor training has been around for at least a decade. In addition, it has become recognised that we each learn in different ways so some adult learning courses also incorporate more recent learning techniques such as people who learn by visual-spacial, intrapersonal, interpersonal, naturalistic, verbal-linguistic, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, or logical-mathematical strategies.
