Here's my suggestions for the top 10 New Year’s Resolutions for Business and Management Trainers:
- I am a lifelong learner, therefore I will learn from other people - include any people that I am meant to be training
- I will not be arrogant enough to think that I know all there is to know, so I commit to using the phrase "I don't know"
- I will treat all delegates with fairness and tolerance, seeking first to know, to empathise
- I will always seek to try new ways of delivery - stepping outside my comfort zone
- I will not become dependent on visual media such as PowerPoint, and I will not use it as an instrument of boredom
- I will check the arrangements, the logistics and my materials in advance - not taking anything for granted
- I will seek to ask questions, in a way that will aid the learning of my delegates
- I will try to understand what people are trying to express and not just listen to the words spoken
- I will prioritise my own development to ensure that I 'sharpen the saw'
- I commit to adding some value to the experience of the delegates attending the course I am leading
Other suggestions are welcome...
