Boot Camp

Take some time to shape up for the New Year.  The military have boot camps to get their troops ready for a mission.  They have drills, build camaraderie and map out strategies to get their mission accomplished.  I have boot camps for bank professionals with similar goals in mind.  Get reenergized for your mission as a financial expert.   Get away from your daily grind to brainstorm with others who work in a similar area.  Enjoy hearing ideas that may be just what you need to get your team more productive.

In December I am looking forward to spending 3 days in Galveston with other trainers.  The salty sea air is good for invigorating a training program.  Training is a critical element in your bank or credit union success.  A team can’t behave like a team unless they have received training that gives them tools for success.  Come join us for a couple of refreshing days.

I ring in the New Year with a Supervisor Boot Camp Jan 8 – 9 in Houston.   Supervisors set the culture for the team.  When a supervisor is well trained they can then pass on confidence and skills necessary to their group. 

If you have any questions about any of the training or have input for me on how I could best serve the financial community post a comment or contact me by phone or email.

Trainers need Training too

I have been training in financial institutes for several decades now and know that we all need training.  We just don’t all need the same training.  A key to being a great trainer is having enthusiasm about what you are training.  Training the same subject over a long period of time can do one of two things.  The trainer can get bored teaching the same subject, and their audience will be bored as well.  We all remember college courses that were arduous to get through because the professor was tired and bland.  Or a trainer can keep getting better, more polished and more interesting if they stay engaged with their audience.

So how do you keep your enthusiasm?  Keep learning.   Keep getting training yourself.  When you know new stuff you are excited to pass that along to those you train.  I have taught a course, “Train the Trainer” for a long time.  It is a great course because I get to spend time with like-minded folk.  My audience may be trainers that have been at it a long time or fresh new trainers or a combination of both.  I enjoy learning from both.  The more seasoned trainers always have a wealth of great stories of their training experiences, some hilarious, some inspiring and some disasters to avoid.  New faces tend to bring a refreshing optimism to the class.  I love to meet young professionals excited about their career.

No matter what you do, training is a great way to pump up your enthusiasm.
