Cutting training sessions short sends a message no leader wants: learning isn’t important. Maximizing every minute shows your team that professional development matters and that each skill learned contributes to future wins. When participants stay engaged until the very end, they walk away better equipped and more motivated to apply their new knowledge.

📢 WANT TO KNOW IF YOUR TRAINING FAILING? LET’S FIND OUT! Corporate training is meant to empower teams, improve skills, and drive results. But too often, it falls short. Why? Because some training programs make the same mistakes over and over again—leaving learners disengaged and organizations frustrated. Let’s do a quick check to see if these common pitfalls sound familiar: ❌ Too theoretical: When training lacks real-world applications, it becomes hard to implement. ❌ Generic content: A one-size-fits-all approach fails to meet diverse needs and disengages participants. ❌ Overload of information: Cramming too much into sessions leads to poor retention. ❌ Lack of engagement: Traditional formats struggle to capture interest and inspire learning. ❌ No follow-up: Without reinforcement, even the best lessons are quickly forgotten. 💭 How many of these common mistakes are you making? Share with us in the comment section below! 💡 If these challenges resonate, don’t worry—there are ways to fix them. Swipe through the carousel to explore practical solutions.

Day 2 of Cracking the Code to Leading in Uncertain Times is One-to-one Day!😃 Here Caroline Esterson & I head to the Tallinn offices on foot...taking care 'not to SLIP' on the ice ❄️🥶) Often in our training programmes, after working with a team, we follow up with individuals. Doing things in this way, especially with this kind of topic, allows us to provide specific support & guidance enabling individuals to apply their learning quicker. Sometimes organisations bypass this important part of the Learning Journey saying they will cover it themselves internally... ...the trouble with this is that often it doesn't happen due to operational pressures, or at best only happens at a surface level. Our client gets the value of learning and doing it thoroughly because they know the part it plays in getting results. If you don't commit to do learning properly & thoroughly that's when it's all too easy to 'SLIP up'!😬 #leadershipskills #learninganddevelopment #results

🌟 Continuous learning is the key to growth! 🌟 I had the privilege of attending a two-day workshop - Conflict Management: Dealing with Challenging Situations - by Martha Neumaier. 💡 WIFI Salzburg offers continuous free training programs for their trainers. This initiative is such a fantastic resource—not only empowering trainers to refine their skills professionally but also offering opportunities to connect with colleagues and exchange knowledge and ideas. Kudos to WIFI Salzburg for investing in OUR lifelong learning! The workshop was both insightful and practical. Martha's engaging style, her inspiring flipcharts, and thought-provoking input, as well as the insights, stories and honest opinions of all participants, made the sessions incredibly impactful. ✨ Key learnings: ✔ Conflict isn’t inherently negative—it’s often an opportunity for growth if managed constructively. ✔ Not always all involved parties are willing to create a positive outcome or even take part in the conflict. Then, it is essential to find a satisfying solution for those eager to grow. ✔ That the HARVARD principle enables us to create win-win solutions and a better outcome than something being “just a consensus”. It emphasises the following key points: 1️⃣ Separate people from the problem: Focus on the issue, not personal emotions or relationships. 2️⃣ Focus on interests, not positions: Understand the underlying needs and motivations of all parties. 3️⃣ Generate options for mutual gain: Brainstorm creative solutions to satisfy everyone’s interests. 4️⃣ Use objective criteria: Base decisions on fair, impartial standards rather than subjective opinions. 🙏 I’m truly grateful for the experience and highly recommend this workshop to others! A big thank you to Martha for the inspiration and practical tools I’m already applying in my work. #ConflictManagement #ProfessionalGrowth #Learning #Wifi

I went on a course but, I don't remember ... What it was about. Often this is what we hear as consultant facilitators. People go on training, but soon thereafter, they have 'forgotten' what the content was. Why is this ...? For me, it is because there is little, if any, follow up coaching and support from line managers. Training people isn't the end of the process, it is just the start. If you want your teams to improve, whilst enrolling them on training is a good start, it is critical to support them afterwards to ensure that learning is transferred into the workplace and becomes embedded through your behaviours. How well supported do you feel back in your workplace ...? #mbls #TrainingAndDevelopment #LearningAndDevelopment

Every trainer knows this, I call it the ‘crossing fingers’ phase You've delivered an amazing training; people are excited, inspired, and eager to apply the learning in their daily work. But let's be honest, 𝐬𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐬. Emails, phone calls, deadlines and target presentations…. Two weeks later, 'what was it again that I practiced with Coco?' And while my trainees struggle remembering their learnings, I find myself crossing my fingers. I am wishing they implement what I taught them and those opened eyes don't slowly close again.

If Training is considered an "Activity That Leads to Skilled Behaviour," Then Most of What We Call "Training" isn't. In many organizations, training is treated as a box-ticking exercise. Sessions are scheduled, slides are presented, and attendance sheets are signed off. But let’s pause and ask: Is this leading to skilled behaviour? Authentic training is transformative—it bridges the gap between knowledge and practical application. It’s not about memorizing policies or watching a demo; it’s about embedding the skills and habits that drive performance, confidence, and growth. So why does so much training fail to make this leap? It’s too theoretical, detached from real-world challenges. It prioritizes content delivery over practice and feedback. It lacks follow-through, leaving learners unsupported when it’s time to apply what they’ve learned. As someone who has designed, delivered, and evaluated training across various industries, I’ve seen the profound difference it makes when we focus on outcomes rather than outputs. It’s not about how much training we do but how effectively we enable it. Whether a motor coach operator mastering compliance or a corporate leader developing collaborative strategies, the goal should always be the same: skilled behaviour. Let’s start rethinking how we approach training. What if we designed every program with the end goal of measurable, impactful skills? What if we prioritized practical application and long-term support? What’s your experience with training that truly led to skilled behaviour?
