Training - What~s the Point?

What~s the point of training? For anything? Whether it~s
running a marathon, learning a new life skill, or furthering
your knowledge at work - is there a point to training?

That sounds like a ridiculous question, doesn~t it? The
benefits of training should be obvious: training is critical
to success, no matter the professional field you~ve chosen,
the tasks you~ve assumed in your personal life, or the new
areas you~d like to explore in the future. Yet there are
many people who don~t see the value inherent in training.

Surprisingly, there are many people who feel that training
is an utter waste of time - no matter the subject. Perhaps
these people feel that they already know everything they
need to know to deal with life and work. Perhaps they~ve
reached a plateau in their professional life where they are
completely comfortable with their skills, and believe that
they can remain in their current position until they reach
retirement without any further growth or development. Try
to imagine the owner or manager of a company attempting to
decide which of two employees is more deserving of a
promotion and a raise. The employer compares the two
employees: one is eager to learn new ways to do things,
streamline the company~s operations and improve the
corporate profit structure. The other employee is stagnant,
hasn~t learned a new approach in years, and is basically
treading water until he is eligible for his pension. Which
employee do you think will get the promotion?

Training offers far more than increased knowledge. It
offers the opportunity to keep your mind motivated and
energized - creating a climate of life-long learning that
can continually open new doors and present you with new
opportunities. Training also adds value to your
marketability; as you add knowledge and skills you~re also
adding additional productivity and dollar value to your
profile. The greater perception others in your field have
of your skill set, the more monetary value you will have in
that field.

But training isn~t just about monetary rewards - it~s also
about building better communication skills, and learning how
to share life experiences with others you train with. A
colleague who undertakes the same training might become a
cherished friend. A training partner may just give you that
clever idea you~ve been searching for to turn your business,
or your life, around and find the direction or focus you~ve
needed.

A well-designed training program can kindle a new excitement
in every part of your life - from a renewed commitment to
physical activity, to taking control of some part of your
personal life that~s been neglected for too long, to adding
personal growth and a different direction in your
professional life - training can have a beneficial effect in
many areas.

So why bother to implement a life-long training program in
all aspects of your life? Because it can impart wisdom in
many forms, and we call all use more wisdom in our lives.
