Training and Behavior Change

Our lives are a series of habits occasionally interrupted by a thought... One of the questions I frequently receive during the UF TREEO Train-the-Trainer class relates to change, 'how can I train my employees to make a change involving safety;' how can I encourage water conservation from my customers.’ No matter how the question is phrased or who the audience is, it is all about creating a change in behavior. These are a few selected slides from the course that touch on the subject of behavior change, which always provokes great discussion in the class. [Selected Slides]

According to Jim Clemmer, of the Clemmer Group, "Research clearly shows far more people act themselves into a new way of thinking than think themselves into a new way of acting." Participants need to know what expectations they can have of the session so the objectives must be realistic and not “over-promise.” (Ten Tips to Make Training and Development Work, Training Transfer Case Study)

We hope to see you in our next training session scheduled for June 5-7, 2013 in Gainesville.
