Training that Leaves An Impact

Training that has high value is one that leaves a deep impact on the trainee long after the training is completed. To have impact the training must hit the trainee right on the head, there must be an instant 'ah ha' exclamation and the feeling must be right. You cannot fake an impact, and you definitely can tell a fake impact from a real one. Some trainers, in their bid to make an impact, do certain things that have the opposite effect. Instead of leaving an impact on the trainees, they leave a bad impression on them. The wrong things that these trainers do include making assumptions, forcing answers for questions and going all out to please them with too many jokes, games and too little content.  In my experience since training over 13,131 people in 16 countries (from 1996), there are 5 steps for the training to have an impact on the trainees: Like.  Trainees must like the trainer, that's why the trainer must greet and smile when they first encounter a trainee. Other

Your Mobile Your Life

As you know, we can read a person with just his mobile number. This is from the school of Digital Energetics 数字能量学. This school states that all digits have energy. Based on a string of digits in a person's mobile phone number, we can read a person like a book in 6 categories of his life: personality, career, wealth, health, relationships and family and benefactors. Digital Energetics is pretty accurate as you can verify it anytime anywhere. Just give me a mobile number of a person that you know very well and I will do a reading of this number within 3 minutes.
