    TRAINING     

DO YOUR PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO FLOW?

Elite athletes at the highest levels study, practice, and train to make sure that they are always able to perform at their peak, individually and as a team.

So when the unexpected happens in a game, they are able to adjust and creatively execute - "in the zone." They flow together, knowing how each will accomplish their role.

The people in your organization need to study, practice, and train together to be able to function as an elite team that adjusts to the inevitable obstacles and changes they face.

TRAINING DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

Brad Barbera Training Program Workshop Development Process

Get oriented with the client, their industry, their perceived needs. Can I help?

Through observation and questioning, understand the Organization and it's culture, it's strengths, it's needs, and it's issues in a deeper way. Then, with the client, clearly define what needs to be be achieved. 

Identify options for delivering what needs to be achieved, and selecting with the client the options that will work best for them. Then rigorously plan the training to be executed. 

Execute the planned training, allowing for adjustments as deemed necessary. Training is never just a talking head at the front of the room, but an interactive dialogue with engaging and memorable activities that provide learning through experience and application.

Assess the effectiveness of the training, address any gaps, and set next steps to incorporate the training into the daily activities and behaviors of those who received the training.
