Your communication has to be able to crumble any wall or dissolve any barrier - consciously or subconsciously - that prevents your employees from learning as quickly as they can. The faster they learn, the more effective they'll be, on the job making it count. If these people aren't ready fast enough, or better yet - aren't effectively performing the task at hand... they're gone. And it's all your fault.

Now I know your probably saying to yourself.. "Wait a minute, why is it my fault?" But it is your fault. You hold the keys to their success. It all starts with you.

I've trained people most of my working life. And I did most of my training before there was any real technology that could make life easier. What you did then, you did yourself. Ten years ago I discovered a very important persuasion principle and it changed the way I communicated and dramatically affected the level of influence I commanded over my trainees.

We all know that to properly train anybody on anything - the content must be rock-solid. However, the "training elite", all know of something even more powerful than content alone. Do you want to know the secret to delivering your training messages, with laser-beam accuracy - every time?

And I don't mean just to deliver it. Your trainees must understand AND remember your message, as well. There's only one way to do that every time.

TRAINING PRINCIPLE #2 ENGAGE.

That's where most trainers fall off. They teach, but they don't engage. When you don't engage you short change the employee, yourself and your company. You must engage. In my book - there is nothing more important.

So I ask you - do you engage your employees? Do you deliver training content that interacts with them and stimulates their "inner-learner" to want to know and understand more? If your not, your failing them.

Engagement is not difficult, but it takes practice. Now I'm not going to give you a training lesson on engagement - however I will tell you the easiest way to engage anyone, whether it be your trainee, a manager or an employee.

To Engage is to Involve Their Senses.

When you involve the senses, your content has a way of permeating the mind at a much faster rate than if they were reading material from a book. It's just a fact. The senses are an "opened" door to your subconscious. Any time you can engage the senses, your employees stand a greater chance of recall.

That's why you can easily remember the words to a song or a line from a good movie. When the senses are engaged, it's easier for the mind to "record" the message.

Now, when you add a consistent, follow-up content delivery plan to your mix - you increase the overall success that your trainee will remember and communicate your message - in the field or on the job - WHEN IT COUNTS!

A Transformation in as Little as 30 Days.

I used to say, "I sure hope things will change." Then I discovered that the only way things are going to change for me is when I change.

Eliminating the day-to-day, arduous "grunt work" from your life is the first step. You need to find a way to minimize your exposure to "administration" and find ways to maximize your efforts towards growth, development and solving problems.
