5. It’s nearly lunch time, but I guarantee
this is new!
Part 1: Trainers Companion
Even the very best trainers have those
days where ‘the group just didn’t gel’.
We share a new tool that takes the guess work out of
‘hitting the mark’ every time.
6. Question - what causes failures?
When training is:
Arranged by a Training/L&D professional
Uses professional material
Is delivered by a professional trainer
Transfer of knowledge can fail...
7. What causes people not to retain what
they learnt in class?
Pre-Training
Pre-course analysis
Pre-course activities
During Training
Failure to engage learners/Content delivered the ‘wrong way’
Irrelevant content/not positioned correctly/‘wrong content’
Post Training
Lack of immediate application ‘Use it or Loose it’
Insufficient pre-course follow up/reinforcement
Factors not related to training
Stress, sleep, nutrition, distraction/focus

10. In other words according to our peers:
58% (most) of the time when things go wrong, it’s
what happens in the room that makes the
difference
It seems running a session based on ‘VAK’ and
‘adult learning’ principals can only get us so far.
Our research and experience worldwide supports
the survey….
11. We asked WHY?
If how the professionals in our industry deliver
training commonly undermines the outcome we
seek and the client wants we had a natural
question - Why?
Answer: You don’t know what you have until you
get there, and you feel your way.
12. What did we do?
We recognised that getting the best results
consistently doesn’t come from the “take a sound
approach”
We turned to the cloud, big data and our industry
partners in Australia, Singapore and the USA) to
provide analysis and correlations to deliver
practical applications of psychometrics that has
never been done before.
15. What does it do?
1. Shows you balance/skew of personality types
AND their learning styles you have in the room
2. Tells you how to prepare to engage them
3. How to Deliver to engage them
4. How to Adjust the content to engage them
5. How to facilitate the session to maximise
involvement and contribution
19. The most stand out aspect of this?
We can get it right – every time!
“This is what to do for this specific group” –
wrapped up in a simple useful reference document
Imagine walking into a training session
understanding exactly how to run the day & who is
going to need extra ‘management’
20. Part 2 Leadership Development
Every style has strengths….
An imbalance doesn’t lead to
balanced outcomes – surprised?
22. Focussing on Strengths vs Gaps
Most potential for ‘mastery’
Naturally the most focus, fun
and dedication
Naturally try & refine
Likely to continue using
Allows for strategic focus on
High-Payoff-Activity (HPA’s)
No ‘new’ skills
Only adding polish
Strengths focus Gaps focus
Likely ‘average’ potential
Takes ongoing reinforcement to
apply
Quick to say ‘that didn’t work’
Less likely to ‘drop the ball’
Empowers and add value to HPA’s
owned or delegated
New skills & confidence
True growth
23. First assess your ‘skew’
Propensity for planning
Decision making approach
People v outcome orientation
Rigidity V fluidity
24.
25. Individual leadership competency
clusters Managing
Approaching Complex Issues
Enforcing Operational Norms
Forming Interactions
Finding Opportunities for Synergy
Easing Tension among Members
Navigating Interactions
Adapting to Changing Circumstances
Maintaining Optimism
Growing Interactions
Setting Clear Expectations
Recognizing Others' Efforts
Connecting Interactions
Assimilating Team Members
Cultivating Team Spirit
26. So what’s the big deal – what’s the
‘development’?
Insights, clarity AND specific recommendations
• Where the rubber hits the road – for us as
practitioners.
• We can ease up on the ‘HR speak’, and
talk specifics and ‘what next’
Don’t forget we are tappers suffering
from the curse of knowledge)
29. Please help us contribute to our discipline!
Contribute to empirical research
PD Training R & D has engaged Leading Dimensions Consulting
LLC to conduct empirical research using the data points
from our results (no personal information will be used) to
produce a White Paper:
“Australian People Focussed Leaders: Comparing and contrasting
Australian people focussed leaders (HR and L&D professionals) to
other leadership cohorts.”

Editor's Notes
Historically:
Interesting, insightful and can increase awareness
Danger of a lot of ‘big words’
Not so much of ‘this is what you do’
A lot of ‘what’s that mean’ from our peers…. And we wonder why we haven’t necessarily part of the strategy
Ambitious 30 minutes!
We are in a unique position working with companies in 6 countries each month to see challenges that transcend economy, culture and overall maturity of the HR function – and those things that are simply the human condition that are ubiquitous challenges for people helping people improve.
we developed the ‘Trainers Companion’ that leveraging decades of data points, and the cloud and the power of the cloud to take the guess work out of ‘hitting the mark’ every time.

What should you do first? Identify and delegate… or develop?
Why is there a frequent ‘how to become a trusted advisor’ question?
