I Have Learnt Nothing Much From Your Training

Yes, you'll be surprised that your training participants said that they have learnt nothing much from your training. Before you get depressed as a Trainer and wondered what went wrong, why not listen further to the feedback?

I said, "Since you said 'nothing much', that means there is something that you learnt.  Could you share with me so that we can help others in future?"

There are 5 things that he learnt but dare not shared with me in the open, they are as follows:

1. They learnt about themselves, like who they are as a person with fears, hopes and dreams.  In our training we get everyone to do the impossible: cut a piece of wood with just a piece of A4 paper
2. They learnt that other companies are worse than them, that their bosses are not so bad after all. This is achieved when I shared with them my experience in training over 13,131 people since 2001 in 16 countries
3. They learnt that commercial movies video clips are very educational too.  When I played movie clips from Hollywood and local movies, they were so touched (especially the movie "Peace Warrior" and "Entrepreneurs Era")
4. They learnt that we can always do something now than later. In the training we made all our participants do something that they all along wanted to do IN THE CLASS.  You'll be amazed to see the relief and smiles on their faces when they have done that
5. They learnt that they can now 'train the trainer', because I the Trainer made them teach back to me what they have learnt in the class. Many of them never realised that they too can be a trainer in their lives
