Training for Trainers

I have been speaking with a company based in the Netherlands about coaching learners that want to be trainers.  They had 127 applicants, 30 interviews and then I was chosen!  I am not sure how many they are going to ultimately hire, since they are just getting started. It is an interesting model, though.  They provide an inital free webinar on some training and facilitation basics with the hope that you will sign up for the certification series.  Once you sign up for the certification you are paired with a mentor/coach (this is where I come in) to work with you on a project.  The coach provides feedback and direction, submits the final project for grading and if you pass you obtain your certification.  I have no idea how busy I will be with this project but I liked the global aspect, as well as, all coaching done via Skype and email.  I will keep you posted!

Welcome

Welcome to my new blog.  The purpose of my blog is to share ideas, musings and other random thoughts.  It will be eclectic, for sure.  I will certainly focus on the training and human resource happenings but will couple it with commentary about the books that I read and review, cooking, fitness, volunteerism and anything else that I want to share.

I look forward to hearing from you!
