How to make training not boring...

Not always an easy task, but I know I hate to be bored, so I try to make the training not boring (at least for me). As I mentioned in the last post, it is good to make personal connections. When I introduce myself, I show a picture of Rose, Sean and I, so that they can see my personal side. For these sessions as an ice breaker, I asked them to share something about themselves that no one else knew. Not easy for them, as they work in close knit teams, but it proved to be fun. There was one person who did not like music, sitting next to one who sang classical music. One of the guys admitted to watching the Travel and Living channel and then there were some others that were pretty funny that got quite a laugh from the team.

Then I trained.

Finally to wrap up, I showed some more pictures, this time of some of the people they know from their virtual interactions. Last year I got to go to London to meet with some of the country team members that we work with. I shared with them this picture.

They really enjoyed putting a face to a name.
Finally, they got to see Charlie


and Cleveland snow.
