“What have you learned lately?” is an important question to ask your in-house training professionals and the training consultants you are working with. And one more thing – if you are a training professional, why not ask yourself?

Learning is important. When trainers are life learners, they bring a lot more to training . . .

• An understanding of the most important trends in their industries, in the marketplace, in marketing and more
• Powerful new ideas about motivation and leadership
• Insights into the latest training technologies and trends
• Practical lessons about many companies’ successes and failures across multiple fields and industries
• Intelligence about what your competitors are doing

Take a Learning Inventory

Whether you are evaluating another trainer’s learning or your own, here are some questions to ask . . .

• What courses or training programs have you completed . . . and what did you learn?
• Have you recently heard keynote speeches or other presentations that taught you important new things?
• Have you earned any new certifications or other credentials . . . and what did you learn?
• Have you visited companies, countries or other locales where you learned new insights that you can apply to training?
• What conferences have you attended in the last year? What sessions did you go to, and what did you learn?
• Have you read any books, articles, research papers or other publications that taught you something new and important?
• What projects have you managed in the last year, and what did you learn?
• Have you had any conversations with exceptional people recently? What did you take away from them?
• What personal experiences in the last year have affected your ideas about success, learning or other training-related issues?
