In this economy it is easy for any one of us to experience the title of this blog. Of course, we say at the beginning of it all, “I need a job, I can do anything for a while” and “who knows I might even get promoted right back up the ladder.” We want toRead… Read more »
…It’s Only Your Money and Corporate is To Blame That You Aren’t Getting It. –We all know people who follow their supervisor’s every whim – blowing the way the wind blows. For some reason, you can’t do that. You’re too independent, too creative, but competent nonetheless. Still, you’re being set up to fail. Sad thingRead… Read more »
Although the title may seem to be misleading, it really isn’t. I am talking about training leaders and leaders training trainers throughout. I received a comment where I think I was totally misunderstood, and I certainly bear some responsibility for not being clear. When I responded to the comment, I like my response almost asRead… Read more »
–Sometimes our own comments in response to a comment made about something we said surprise us. And, sometimes we like our response. I like this one response to a comment on The Anatomy of a Trainer. Hope you do, too. It’s short and sweet: I think you misunderstood my basic premise. Sorry that it hasRead… Read more »

Or, to give them more respect, they could be speakers and even trainers who have sold good training tools, dependingRead… Read more »
The following is strictly commentary. The comments made here are mine and mine alone, and in no part are related to The Free Management Library. Powerful corporations taking advantage the general population seems to be the stereotype, doesn’t it? Are, we, trainers, helping them do that? I know this seems somewhat sacrilegious, since I, too,Read… Read more »
What is that exactly? Where do trainers come from? Are they born or made, as I like to ask my students of speakers. Trainers are a little different. Trainers are made of parts, like the human body, and have many interacting functions or working parts. Without some parts they die. With others, they thrive. FollowingRead… Read more »
When I first wrote this article (actually the one I have revised), I was at a different place. When I discovered some people were reading it, I went back to look at it. I return to my articles from time to time. I always find typos. It seems they are never done. This time. IRead… Read more »
