Training Day – Professional Development
What is Professional Development? I began this article by looking again at the differences between professional development vs training, or trainers and teachers. In A Look at the Education vs Experience Debate and in an earlier post, What’s the Difference Between Training and Teaching, I made a few comparisons. This time, I thought it might …
Rating Training
We know training is important to both organizations and employees, yet it is often seen by workers and supervisors as extra work of no real value. It interrupts the workflow. It is the immediately tangible evaluations that become most important. The effectiveness of training should matter. That’s what we tell ourselves and, yet, we hand …

Here, though President Obama has said, he will not compromise or even negotiate with the Republicans …
Customized Training: Quality Over Quantity of Toys
(By the way, I know some trainers use toys in icebreakers and throughout their training, but I’m not going to address that here. Maybe later.) Some trainers and some employers expect these toys: stacks of pre-packaged company-tested programs. Other trainers and employers expect a personalized, yet professional assessment and work experience, which may or may …
