Trainers Bad Habits

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Lots of really good comments about the things we may do as trainers, that make students crazy over in the LinkedIn Training Managers group.

Others, frankly, make me wonder about trainers. I can’t even imagine not getting to class before the students and having everything setup, but apparently, it happens often!

What kind of training habits make you crazy?

Conducting Webinars

In my new position, I do online training quite frequently. It’s weird. It’s challenging to try and adapt your speech with no visual clues from your audience.
