Monthly Meeting: Stop Learning and Start Training

Stop Learning and Start Training

The best organizations in the world, whether they be companies, sports teams, or military units, use training to improve their performance. Can you say the same about yourself and your organization? As the world continues to speed up and the skills you have today become out of date ever faster, you need to be prepared to not just learn, but train with the same rigor as any professional athlete. This session focuses on practical tips and exercises anyone can use to identify the capabilities you need to tackle tomorrow’s challenges and then create an effective roadmap for their development.

Learning Objectives:

• Show the difference between learning and training and when each is valuable.
• Provide strategies for discovering the most important capabilities to target for future growth.
• Help each participant create a roadmap for the rapid development of new skills and behaviors.
