No one invests in negative returns… Invest in your people first. Meet their needs, and they will invest in yours.

Don’t force it… It’s 2015 – the age of information overload – We know the buzz words – We know what’s being said out of obligation When we’re forced to attend training, we know most people would rather keep working It’s 2015 – let’s get creative – Think for yourself – Think for those around you Think of something new How does your team learn best? NEVER do it because it is what has always done Most people do not want to be told what to do. That does not change in the workplace.

Keepin’ it real. (a.k.a. relevant)

Keeping it relevant… It’s ok to train a few people at a time – Who is essential? – Who can spread the word? – Who is available? Delaying training until everyone in a large group is available is counterproductive.

Keeping it relevant… People have their own interpretation – What is real for one person, is not necessarily real for the next. – Training in smaller groups allows for more Q&A time. Even in a large group, plan for a lot of questions. If they don’t have time to ask, assumptions will be made. What do we know about assumptions??? – Sometimes they’re right and sometimes they’re wrong.

Let’s do some math.

What was that about investment?

It ’ s hard to be 100% better than your competition, but you can be 1% better in 100 ways. ~ Rich Melman If 99.9% was acceptable : 880,000 credit cards in circulation will turn out to have incorrect card holder information on their magnetic strips. 22,000 checks from wrong bank accounts in the next 60 minutes 107 incorrect medical procedures will be performed by the end of the day today. One hour of unsafe drinking water per month

The 212 Principle Be the Difference

In a 212 workplace… We only speak well of ourselves. We only speak well of our organization. We only speak well of our competitors. We only speak well of our students.
