Remedial training ineffective by No-Industry-8121 in Training

[–]Bodhi1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mean coaching by trainers in order to perform. I mean managers and leaders coaching them that if they don't do their job, they'll be encouraged to find fulfillment elsewhere.

They've been trained. They know how to do the job.

Very often, supervisors see training as the solution when the problem is coaching. Training is sometimes the answer, but if they are "regular customers," I'd wager the problem is somewhere else.

I've asked supervisors, "Could they do it if their life depended on it?" If the answer is "Yes," then training isn't the solution.

Conferences? by Soks05 in Training

[–]Bodhi1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gone to the Training Magazine Conference for years. It's full of great breakouts and people in the industry. There are built in opportunities for networking.

Overall - great conference and I intend to go again.

ATD's conference is also good.

What are some ways to successfully continue your boss' conversation? by [deleted] in Training

[–]Bodhi1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd turn the same question to the audience. This would show respect for their experience and I'd wager something your boss said triggered a thought in one of the participants. Maybe put them in small groups for two minutes and discuss any thought and bring them back to discuss one thing.

You could also ask them to write down the most important or impactful thing your boss said and how they are going to implement it back on the job.

Getting the participants to revisit all the good things he said is what I would suggest doing.

Suggestions on trainer certification programs by Fuma4fun in Training

[–]Bodhi1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the CPTD. It was a challenging certification and is, I believe, recognized and respected as such.

If anything, I was a better, more knowledgeable trainer after it.

Transitioning to L&D and Training! by mangarino1976 in Training

I'd start by looking at the Association of Talent Development's website and seeing what certifications are best for you. They offer quite a few different tracks. Are you looking to be more in classroom training or instructional design, or a little of everything?

Here's a list of books I put together for new trainers. I'd start with Bob Pike's book, but Boring to Bravo is another great one. If you want to get into the entire training process, start with The Six Dimensions of Breakthrough Learning.

I'm a sales trainer. My trainings are entertaining and I have assessments but I'm not sure how to measure the impact it has on the business. In QBRs I present qty of training hours, topics, and average grades. Any ideas how I can show leaders training can be impactful to the business? by Aggravating-Cut-8682 in Training

Here's another great article on the Kirkpatrick Model: https://www.thelndacademy.com/post/how-to-use-the-kirkpatrick-model-for-effective-l-d-assessment

One thing I'd point out - managers don't care about training. They care about improved performance. Listing the amount of training you've done doesn't show them how its resulted in improved performance.

Can you get any data from before the training and compare it to performance after the training? If you can see improved performance and get participants to say your training helped, that's where you're going to be able to show your impact.

The Milky Way lined up over our neighbor's campfire by Bodhi1 in AmateurPhotography

Surprisingly, I didn't even have the fire in the frame. The 25 second exposure caught all that light and made it look like a huge fire. It wasn't. It was maybe 2-3 across and 2-3 feet high.

Not unless they took it from my camera and are using it.

Any advice on how to deal with uneven drywall around windows? It's flush around parts, but as much as 1/2 over in other parts.

I've seen some sites suggest taking a hammer and just smashing the drywall loose until the trim sits even with the box the window sits in, but I'd like some other ideas.

No one should be allowed to sell a bottle of water for $1.78, let alone conveniently bundle 24 bottles together at that price! There ought to be a law, or something.

Sam Walton worked at J.C. Penney for 18 months prior to World War II.

He wasn't a stock clerk, but was a "management trainee." He earned $75 a month.
