Good morning and welcome to another Trainer Talk on the Dog Walk and what I wanted to do this session was to just kick off with a question for you. And the question was, have you ever witnessed or been exposed to bad behavior in your training sessions or presentations? I know many of us have, indeed I have too...

Hello. I'm back in the UK. As you can see, no snow here. Back in the UK after an absolutely amazing two weeks in the Alps. Just unbelievable. It was a birthday trip for me, and we achieved so much. So yeah, unbelievably great, but good to be back too. So, back on the Trainer Talk on the Dog Walk...

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...

Training of trainers is our speciality, and this week we have launched a great new feature on the A - Z of great training. Using our social media outlets, we will be pushing out what we believe are the essentials from A - Z to providing brilliant training.

As a Trainer, the skills you need to develop may come easy to you, and if so, you’re definitely one of the lucky ones! It would amaze you how many people who have great natural trainer attributes don’t realise, and they also doubt themselves hugely.  When that amazing potential is untapped though, they start to absolutely flourish and to witness...

Some of us are very lucky as trainers to have had fantastic training support and continued professional development, but many aren’t so fortunate.  One of the most common statements I come across when delivering PTT Train the Trainer courses is how many people are given a task by their managers to train something because “We need training on that”.  Then...

Quite a tall order isn’t it?  How can you expect a task to get done if you don’t have the capability or resources to do it?  This is happening all the time with training, and it’s wasting valuable time and money that businesses can’t afford to lose. Ball in the basket - a relatively straightforward task really when we have...

When I’m delivering training, I often get lots of great feedback from evaluations that say things like “Made to feel welcome from the very start” which I love.  I take so much pride in helping people learn in a great environment. After all, this is this one of my most important jobs of the day, but why is this the...

Think of the most professional delivery of a training session you have had personally and ask yourself why?  There could be many reasons you think that way but the most common factor will be because the Trainer was exceptionally well prepared and organised! I once remember arriving at a training session where we were sent to the wrong room, and...
