Training - The Benefits of a Good Training Program
by Dr. Michel Classe
http://www.frogtraining.com

To understand the benefits of a good training program, we
must first define what training is: the dictionary defines
training as "any activity leading to skilled behavior."
That broad description could cover everything from a
physical conditioning program to learning a new task at work
to understanding new life-coping skills.

That sounds like a ridiculous question, doesn~t it? The
benefits of training should be obvious: training is critical
to success, no matter the professional field you~ve chosen,
the tasks you~ve assumed in your personal life, or the new
areas you~d like to explore in the future. Yet there are
many people who don~t see the value inherent in training.

Imagine if Michael Jordan had attempted to step onto a
basketball court without following a regimen of training
that not only conditioned him as an athlete but taught him
tactics and strategy that augmented his natural talents.
What if Steve Jobs or Bill Gates suddenly decided they had
as much money as they~d ever need, and stopped learning new
skills, new interests and new methodologies for their
industry? These people are leaders in their fields - for a
variety of reasons - but one basic fact underlies their
accomplishments- they train, and continue to train, no
matter the level of success they achieve. They~re interested
in new ideas, new thought processes, new ways of approaching
old tasks - thus they continually examine and learn and
explore new avenues - they educate themselves constantly.

A good training program offers far more benefits than just
increasing information or generating awareness of new
methodologies. Training can identify areas of weakness that
need improvement, offer opportunities for networking and
exchange of new thoughts and concepts, as well as expanding
horizons and developing ideas that were previously
unconsidered. Training opens doors.

They say knowledge is power - and a good training program
puts knowledge in the hands of those who most need it - from
someone recovering from an illness who needs a way to build
strength and flexibility, to employees of a corporation who
must implement new cost-cutting strategies, to people
rebuilding their personal lives after a momentous change - a
training program can be adapted to help people in each of
these situations.

A good training program can re-energize you - not just
physically but mentally and emotionally as well. Learning
something new can stimulate your creative juices; make you
more open to new ways of approaching a long-familiar task -
perhaps designing a short-cut that can save time and money.

So why bother to implement a life-long training program in
all aspects of your life? Because it can impart wisdom in
many forms, and we call all use more wisdom in our lives.

Training should be a lifelong goal in everyone~s life - to
stop learning is to stop growing, and the person who stops
growing will soon be left far behind as the rest of the
world progresses. Those who cannot adapt to changing
conditions will soon stagnate and die.
