It's the compound effect that will elevate your skill development

Rarely does a once and done training session develop deep skill and behavioral learning. That 45 minute webinar or Ted Talk may create a spark, but it’s highly insufficient.

If we could get by with once and done or even formulaic forms of training, we could learn chemistry, biology, math, nutrition, etc., in one sitting. The same applies for leadership and team building. We sometimes seek simple forms of solutions, but they fall way short of gaining retention and consistent application.

Effective training design involves this principles (as a short list) in design and application:

• Systematic in design

• Integrated steps

• Holistic in it’s components

• Positive mindset management

• Goal orientation (with willingness to shift)

• Self talk management

• Adaptability

• Perseverance

• Accountability and feedback

• Obstacle management

• Savoring and celebrating success

• Patience and commitment

• Coaching

Think about your own personal development plan. It’s it including principles from the list above?
