It’s likely this looks NOTHING LIKE the world you are in!

Once upon a time, learners:

1. Attended full-week workshops.
2. They had others who backed them up so they could be fully focused on the learning.
3. When they returned, their boss and team expected them to be competent in the new things learned, and..
4. They were expected to apply what they learned immediately.

If you get a chance to go to an all day workshop away from the office, you are constantly interrupted by work during the day thanks to email and other media, and you are twice as overwhelmed when you return the next day.

The likelihood that performance will change is becoming less and less.
​
If you’re a person who, like me, believes that our duty is to help people perform better and make more impact at work, this realization is tough to accept.

It’s time to step up, revisit how we deliver performance change and rise to the opportunity to truly improve productivity and engagement.
