It is that time in January when your Goals that have been set as part of your New Years Resolution start to drift, the mid-January slump. Why is this? Well, the reason is motivation and recognising the differences between Extrinsic or Intrinsic Goals. When we set goals with Extrinsic motivation, for example, I want to look better for my partner...

As a trainer, one of the most fantastic things you can experience is seeing or hearing that your training is working. If we are honest, it's the reason why we do this job. It's about delivering training that works and has improved the way people work. Like you, I have attended my training courses when I have thought, what is...

The advent of computer technology has revolutionised the way we get our message across, and in training, there is no doubt that one of the most controversial is PowerPoint. I remember the first time I witnessed a PowerPoint presentation; I thought, wow, this looks good. But, of course, please remember that we had Overhead Projector Slides (OHP) before we had...

Ever thought about building your own “Bucket List” for dealing with your Adversity? I recently did a set of workshops in Dealing with Adversity, a compelling reflective set of workshops.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is essential if, as a coach, we want to develop. There are so many coaches and different coaching certificates that it can be challenging to decide where to go to receive quality executive coaching. But, most importantly, where do coaches go to develop further? I think it is essential to understand what a good supervisor can...

As a trainer, we have a unique opportunity, sometimes a “once in a lifetime” chance to pass on what we know so that others can learn.  When we pass these on, it gives them a chance to use that knowledge or skill and even then, for them to pass it on. Imagine the effect of this in Business?  What would...

Most people say they are nervous upon arrival about what's ahead of them in nearly every training course I have delivered on our Train the Trainer courses. As a trainer, it's one of my most important jobs to put everyone at ease as soon as they arrive, but we are human too and even as professional trainers, we've all been there...

On our PTT Train the Trainer courses, a common statement is that people take so much from our training.
