Keep Pedaling The Cycle Of Learning

In one of my sessions with some chief managers I airish a question, "When was the endure time you best up a book to apprentice something?" Some said, "A anniversary back" some "a year back" but I was abashed by one acknowledgment in particular, "When I was accomplishing my graduation" It seemed this being afterwards accepting the job never best up a book for the accomplished 20 years! I was apprehensive about the addition of this being to the Organization. As trainers, we cannot allow to stop acquirements and with the accelerated changes in technology acquirements becomes even added challenging.
When I started training the alone adjustment I acclimated was lecturing. I knew my accountable thoroughly and I could accord a ceaseless three-hour address and I took abundant pride in accomplishing so. Again anyone acicular out that I should use an O.H.P projector, I had to apprentice how to use that. But I would use just atramentous colour pens to address on accuracy sheets, as I could not allow colour pens then, as anniversary area would amount Rs.50 then. In one of the feedback, anyone wrote "The adroitness should use colour pens to address on the accuracy sheets." I bought colour pens. As technology got better, I started accepting accuracy bedding printed in colour application a computer and to do so I had to apprentice how to use a computer, apprentice about MS word, PowerPoint, PageMaker.
For hand-outs, I learnt to blazon application all my fingers and started application my grandfather's 75 year old 'Hermes' typewriter to blazon on cyclostyling stencils and again I had to get the copies cyclostyled, again started photocopying the typed sheets, again confused to photocopies of computer printouts.
One day, as I was administering an centralized program, during the cafeteria break, as I was interacting with the participants, one of them asked me a question, "Are you accessible online." Let me be actual honest, at the time, I didn't accept what the hell that meant. I begin out that it meant accepting your own website, I had to apprentice about websites; I begin a webmaster and got one made. Again if I would allege to the HR guys and acquaint them that they could appointment my website for details, they would acquaint me, "Mail me the beat of the module"
Then I had to apprentice how to accomplish my PowerPoint slides, mind-maps, how to finer use audio and video clips in my training sessions. I started authoritative my training added empiric by application added activities. At the aforementioned time I had to aswell yield affliction that there was some dosage of ball and humour, so I had to apprentice means to carefully absorb them. Today apprenticeship is not enough, participants are searching for edutainment!
I aswell had to apprentice means to yield affliction of altered acquirements styles, accomplish abiding that the key letters and learning's are delivered application the Visual, Auditory, kinesthetic concept. I had to apprentice NLP to administer it to teaching methodologies.
There are trainers who are application a array of methods as allotment of their training methodology. One trainer makes participants breach board planks, angle adamant rods with their necks and airing on fire; all this is done to claiming their attached beliefs. So if you wish to use these techniques, you charge to apprentice and adept them.
I feel I still charge to apprentice a lot to accumulate myself updated. I charge to apprentice copywriting, how to accomplish websites, blogs, internet marketing, video shooting, video editing, SEO, simple animations, webinars, attenuated learning, e-learning, chat press, blogs, amusing media, video blogs, audio recording, microphones, cameras, lighting, accomplishments screens, podcasts, authoritative advice product... the account is endless. The acceleration at which technology keeps alteration makes it difficult for the trainer to accumulate pace.
So if you wish to be a trainer who is consistently in demand, you will accept to consistently accumulate learning, accumulate pedalling the aeon of learning, the day you stop pedalling you abatement and you are out or if you pedal actual slow, you will be larboard far behind.
