People create things every day. They see what’s needed and creatively and passionately get them done.
· People’s work is most
· Often a series of many parts.
· Like an artist’s marks on canvas,
· The elements come together in the end.
Throughout my career I developed many training courses that were led by subject experts and conducted in classrooms. It was difficult to schedule managers and supervisors to be in classrooms and finding temporary substitutes for them was a logistical challenge. Several years ago, I began developing a better way to present soft skills training to managers and supervisors and the result was a series of short format videos that they could take anywhere, anytime on computers, tablets, and smartphones. The courses lasted 1 hour, and each was divided into six 10-minute chapters that were quick to take and easy to digest. Coupled with each was a guide to make sure the people they reported to – usually their department heads, had summaries of the course materials, questions to make sure the attendees understood the material, and exercises they could assign to see if the participants could use this material on the job or needed additional coaching. In creating this masterpiece of training, I put these marks on its canvas: short courses, easy access, practical information, straightforward information, and an alignment between the people taking the courses and their bosses. It's called Tiny Classroom Training (www.tinyclassroomtraining.com) and it launched this past month. It’s what I’m passionate about today.
