What People Learnt but Dare Not Tell You

You'll be surprised if you have a heart-to-heart talk with the people that you sent for training.  "Tell me what have you learnt."  They will say, "Nothing much, I learnt those strategies that we may have taken for granted and not used much".  Is this their real answer?

What do people really learnt from training?  You'll be shocked to discover the truths: there are 5 main things that people learnt but dare not tell you:
  1. They learnt about themselves: their weaknesses, strengths and most importantly, their potential.  Like people learnt that they can do magic: cut a piece of wood with paper.  Many people are frightened with this new discovery: they are afraid that now that they know they can do much more, will they be worked to death to implement the strategies learnt?
  2. They learnt about the best practises that may not be practised in their organization, like having half-yearly dialogue style performance appraisal.  Some are afraid of telling this to you the boss for fear that you may think they are as picking up on your organization
  3. They learnt that training can be very fun too with good mix of jokes, funny video clips, games, exercises and true stories.  Imagine the look on the boss's face if they tell you that they have so much fun in the training.  Some bosses wonder if they go for fun or for learning?  Truth be told: people learn faster and have longer retention if they have fun in learning
  4. They learnt from the trainer that because of the PIC scheme, training cost is now 60% subsidised by the government.  Some dare not tell you this for fear that you may interpret this as they are hinting you to send them for more courses.  Click here for articles on PIC
  5. They learnt that nothing is impossible, it's possible to sell the impossible, sell ice to the Eskimos and do limitless selling.  They learnt that people management is not about managing people but making people better than themselves.  Some also learnt that a leader's job is to make people work hard, not to make people's work hard.  Imagine the look in the boss's face if they tell you all these: some bosses are asking if they themselves should be inside the training! 
At last, there is this course that all can attend: bosses, staff, managers and working level staff - High Contribution Employees. The last run for this is on 31 December 2014 Wednesday 2 to 5.30 pm.  Email to andythecoach@gmail.com or text to 8201-4347 for any queries you may have.  Our management and sales training courses can also be done in-house at your premise with no extra cost, plus you'll get PIC 60% cash back and PIC 160% cash back.  Related articles:

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages active listening, empath

New Age Mobile Numerology

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life?   Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect?  How about people in the past without mobile numbers?  You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers? Finally, isn't this kind of fortune-telling thing more of psychology and blind faith than science?   If so, how can we trust anything that is not proven and not science? Today let's resolve all these doubts and I welcome your co

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot
