    Photo by David Marcu on Unsplash I have been writing some training material this week for an organisation you all know and they wanted a section on accountability and ownership.

I wonder how many of my participants are thinking about the training they will get this week. Are they excited? Are they not looking forward to it? The mindset of a participant is…

    I have been talking to a lot of organisations over the last few months about performance and performance management. A lot of the issues come from poor hiring. Training can’t fix this. Get the wrong person and basically you are stuck with the wrong person, Training is not going to fix that. I’ll let Google…

    Photo by Niklas Tidbury on Unsplash To learn you must practice. Not just once but many times. But that practice must also be good effective practice. Most training doesn’t involve much practice because we don’t have time but if you think that through that really is a bit stupid. Watch the video below on practice. Can’t see the…

    Keeping it in perspective. Keeping it real? It’s tough to do when there is so much bad news, rubbish news. I’m having a week off. I am going to do a bit of skiing in NZ and I am going to be keeping it all in perspective. Great little video below on the topic of…

The video below featuring Stephen Fry does a good job of explaining some bias. The video below that explains 12 common biases. As a trainer this information can assist you to assist others to…

    How is your Sunday going? You run into some amusing and different names in training. I have some great ones on my list but I can’t say them as this would be abusing my participant’s privacy. I found a great video that demonstrates just how far some parents will go to provide a child with…
