Training... yikes! Evan's got a good post on the horror that the word 'training' induces in people and why that is. Not to spoil the conclusion but: "I have gone so far as to remove the word "training" from my vocabulary, lest I give away my secret past. Instead, I use words like "workshops", "group mentoring" and "educational experiences" to describe what might otherwise be known as "training"." I'm also a trainer and I also feel that it gets a hard line... problem is though that I've also been 'trained' many times and it's been, well, 99.9% rubbish. The qualifications required for becoming a 'trainer' often seem to be no more than a rudimentary grasp of the product and moreoftenthannot 'training' is so driven by institutional objectives "You must cover this this this and this!" that it becomes just an information 'transfer' session anyway. 12:20:33 PM    comments   trackback
