give presentations at lots of conferences each year: participants
there get a chance to meet others and learn about the latest best practices.
I’m always amazed at how many people attend these events: from all over the
world and from companies large and small. So I’m always surprised when clients
say the timing is not quite right for sending employees to continuing education
programs. These programs come in all
kinds of types - venues, formats, lengths of time, and price ranges; I get it
when budgets are tight, but because of the variety of types, timing should
rarely be an issue. Sure – the weeks before Black Friday are usually off limits
for sales organizations, but there are 12 months in every year during which the
best companies reward great employees with the gift of continuing education:
that’s part of creating a corporate culture of excellence. Encourage and allow
your best people to participate in continuing education so they can be all they
want and need to be today. The timing’s always right for that.
