5 Reasons You Don't Need Training
When management finds that staff is not engaging in work behaviors desired by the organization, they often turn to training as the response for "fixing" the problem. But training frequently isn't the answer. Here are five situations that won't be resolved by training: (11/3/2009)

10 Tips for Coaching Excellence
A seminar participant in our Bob Pike Group Boot Camp told me recently that a manager had asked her to do some training on time management. "I've got people showing up late for work, and I thought they could use some training in time management," he said. The absurdity of this statement was not lost on the other trainers in the room - we all agreed that all too often, managers look to training to "fix" all their performance problems, when training is not the right answer. This article is a preview in an occasional series of articles on coaching. From Bob Pike's Performance Solutions Cube, we teach that there are at least five other solutions to performance problems that should precede training. And one of those solutions is coaching. Here are ten tips for Coaching Excellence, taken from our Coaching for Success program. (7/27/2009)

Finding My Passion: Applying Boot Camp Basics
After recently attending a two-day Boot Camp with trainer Becky Pluth, MaryClaire Rocheleau emailed her boss: Thank you! The class I attended this week was phenomenal. The content was not only appropriate to my current level of knowledge but provided me with at least 20 tangible ideas that I can put into immediate use for the PMPI Training. I continue to appreciate your allowing me to step out of my “paid role” to explore what I am finding to be my passion. I aspire to be like the trainer who facilitated this session Again, thank you! I am truly lucky to have such a supportive and encouraging boss and do want you to know how much I appreciate you. She then followed up with us to relate how the Boot Camp had been implemented—in some rather unexpected ways! (12/2/2008)
