Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes 🌴 18.  Training has seven meanings and education isn't one of them with Alan Weiss (never released!)
In this previously unreleased episode of Talk the Walk, Leanne Hughes and Alan Weiss dive into the provocative topic of training versus education.
They unpack why the training industry often falls short of delivering measurable outcomes and explore the deeper distinction between teaching skills and fostering intrinsic motivation.
Alan shares his unique perspective on the inefficacies of the training industry, critiques common practices like "one-day resilience sessions," and provides actionable insights on embedding skills and creating accountability post-training.
Leanne reflects on her experiences as a facilitator and discusses the importance of community, competition, and consequences in driving behavioural change.
Highlights include:
Alan’s seven definitions of training, with a surprising twist.
Why motivation is intrinsic and how to align training with self-interest.
Practical ways to create accountability and measure ROI in learning programs.
How healthy competition and community influence learning outcomes.
A candid discussion about the commoditisation of training and how to stand out.
Takeaways:
Training alone doesn’t guarantee results; embedding skills on the job is key.
Focus on creating consequences to drive adoption of new behaviours.
Leverage community and competition as tools to inspire change.
