Skill Building and Maintenance – Protecting Your Investment In Training

Skill Building and Maintenance – Protecting Your Investment In Training

Athletes learn a particular set of skills and it seems that for a long time they only keep getting better and better. However, in most workplaces employees learn a skill and in a few weeks – even days, forget a lot of what they learned. In fact, many revert back to old habits. What do athletes know that we don’t about building skills and maintaining them so we don’t lose what we invest in training? This session focuses on the techniques that make training stick. Furthermore, we will learn how to make your training sessions produce long term results that increase performance over time.

Objectives:

• Learn the difference between “learning illusions” and exercises that help master learning
• Apply techniques through interactive experiences
• Decide how to use these techniques in the real world
