Importance of training

First Entry

I previously had another blog up and running for many years. I switched from topic to topic as my feelings toward what was important in my life changed. I've come to realize that my blog should be about what I have been passionate about for the most significant amount of time. For me, that is training.

Training has been a cornerstone of all that I have done in my life. I may have been a manager or salesperson, but my common element is training. As a salesperson, the part of the job I loved the most was educating my customers about the potential products and services they could enjoy from my company. As a manager, I taught my staff everything I could for them to be better at what they do every day.

In recent years I have realized that training is what I should be doing. I have been an Instructional Designer and Trainer for over five years and have enjoyed almost every minute of it. To me, this has been the most exciting and rewarding career I could have ever asked for. When people ask me what I see myself doing in five years, my answer is always the same. Training!

To me, training is my passion and my life. What better topic could I follow as I continue my career as a training professional.
