HOW TO - BRING FOCUS TO YOUR TRAINING EFFORTS To make the best use of your time when training any level of employee, you need to know what you want to accomplish. Too often people are sent to training to get ‘fixed’ which is NOT what development and education are about.

If you want to gain clarity about training outcomes, ask the following quetrions:

• What are your people doing that they shouldn't be doing?

• What aren't your people doing that they should be doing?

• What would you like to see your people doing that they aren't doing now?

• Describe what you see your staff doing when you view the organization/department the day/month/ after the program has been conducted. What do you see?

Once you know where you are headed, you have a much better chance of actually getting there. After you’ve looked at what you hope to achieve through training, take a good look at the people you are sending to training. Do they have the ‘right stuff’ fro training to succeed?

Do they have FOCUS?

Where are you headed? As a team at work or as a team made up of clients and consultants, without a clear goal, the journey becomes an aimless amble rather than a trip with a destination.

Do they have FLEXIBILITY?

Is there an ability to adapt and continue ahead? Expecting not to alter or shift indicates that people think they can operate either alone, or with people who think, believe and behave exactly as they do.

Is there DESIRE?

Do you want it? The drive to act, try, and move indicates a readiness to create progress.
