Training Day – Professional Development

What is Professional Development? I began this article by looking again at the differences between training and education, or trainers and teachers.

As a Federal worker, I went through several government shut-downs, and when it got down to dangerous territory one side caved–a compromise. Here, though President Obama has said, he will not compromise or even negotiate with the Republicans …

Customized Training: Toys or Tailored Learning?

Customized Training: Quality Over Quantity of Toys (By the way, I know some trainers use toys in icebreakers and throughout their training, but I’m not going to address that here. Maybe later.) Some trainers and some employers expect these toys: stacks of pre-packaged company-tested programs. Other trainers and employers expect a personalized, yet professional assessment …

Training in a Truly Foreign Country, Part II

What would you consider training in a truly foreign country to be? One where you neither speak nor write or read the language, right? I’m not going to make you guess. If you read Part I, you know that I’m talking about Japan. The Japanese actually have three kinds of writing, but I suppose if …
