When Training for Your Team Won't Work

When we plan our Development Plans for the year, and we want to be stronger in a certain area, we usually assume we need a training.

And that may be partially true.

But training alone does not guarantee action.

Have you ever wondered why your team member attends a training on how to be an amazing presenter, and then still does not want to present?

Or maybe they learn how to have a difficult conversation, but they still avoid having it.

Many times the real reason we don't take action does not have to do with training or knowledge.

It has to do with our perspective.

How we are seeing a situation, and how we feel about it.

That's why when we send someone to a training and then nothing happens, it could be that they still don't feel confident.  Or they have some kind of fear about it.

Until that is addressed, it is likely your team member will remain the same.  

In this episode I share examples of this inaction and what can be done to overcome it.
