When I first started in training in 2005, I didn’t have any formal training. Thankfully, I had some great coaches and mentors along the way, but it wasn’t until I attended my first Langevin workshop many years later that I realized there was a lot I didn’t know about the world of training. For example, the principles of adult learning and why they are so important for successful training. (I may have also realized that I picked up a few bad habits along the way and had to correct those.)
During the Langevin training, it was like a lightbulb went off and all the stars aligned. I now understood why the courses I taught were designed the way they were. I now had a better understanding of what my learners needed and how to deliver the content and activities to better fit their needs!
Reflecting on those first few years, while I wouldn’t change the coaching and mentorship I received, I definitely would have benefited from more formal training in the beginning. With a better understanding of the big picture, an overview of the entire training function, and a clear view of how everything works together like cogs in a machine, I would have been set up for even better success. (And maybe have prevented some of those bad habits in the first place!)
