"How Your Employees Think About Your Company Is Vital To Your Business Growth." - Clay Staires
 
According to the Harvard Business Review, only 10% of the population has what is called "the learning mind-set":  people who seek out and enjoy learning.  The other 90% will not look to improve their skills unless they have to as a part of their job requirements.  So how do you prepare your employees to represent your company well, when 90% of them are wired to resist change and maintain the status quo?
 
Have you said any of these statements under your breath?

• What’s wrong with these people?  It’s like they forgot everything?
  We would have better employees if we had better applicants.
  Why won't employees just do what they are told?
  We don't have time for training.
  Training is nice, but we don’t have the money for that.
  If we train them too well, they may leave and go somewhere else.
  Our training is so boring.

Some people say that employee training is the single most important aspect of a great company.  Other people feel like it’s important, but it’s a luxury they can’t really afford.  What do you think?

Imagine having a workforce that truly worked together and is loyal and committed to the company more than a paycheck.
Imagine having a workforce that was prepared to handle ANY situation that came up.
You don't have to imagine it - it’s possible!   And this Learning Lab will equip you with how to provide great training!

 
You will learn about the four blind spots that sabotage employee training and four power tools of great training.

You will be equipped with:

• Specific Action Steps To Move Your Training From Good To Great
  A Training Outline That Is Reproducible Throughout Your Company
  Answers To Your Immediate Questions About Problems You Experience In Training

These two hours could change the game for you and your company!  Don't miss this chance to end the frustrations you have felt for so long!
