Morning Motivator - What Are You Learning?

"Learning is important. Learning what is important is strategic."
- Unknown

Do you REMEMBER the last training you went to? What did you LEARN? How did you USE that knowledge? Did you..?

I have given and attended many training sessions in my professional career. I am always AMAZED at the ways in which trainings are administered - AT you, not WITH you. They often SPEAK about how great something is, yet LACK understanding of the ways you are able to USE it to benefit others. Why do you think this is?

Commonly, products and services are INTERNAL developments by INTERNAL company members. Often, they lack APPLICATION and EXECUTION understanding. They do not UNDERSTAND the "how," just the "why."

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:

UNDERSTANDING that YOU are a trainer is important. Each day you help EDUCATE and mentor others on the "how" and "why" regarding tasks.

When training others, be CERTAIN you are providing your insight in terms of APPLICATION! Education is a WASTE OF TIME if you are not able to use it...

Also, next time you are in a training... CHALLENGE the speakers to show you HOW to use their knowledge. If you are able to IMPLEMENT one new idea from a training, then you will be 100% ahead of everyone else.

Now go LEARN something... And USE IT!

Cheers,
Zach
