Training Your Employees
Things may be looking up on the economic horizon, but organizations are still watching their budgets. For many of these companies, high employee turnover is an issue for the HR department, not the finance team.Before an organization implements an employee training program, several considerations must be mad

I sit on the board of an organization and at the last meeting found myself speaking with another board member named Standolyn Robertson. Standolyn is also a business owner and our conversation was about managing expectations … both ours and our clients. She said something that is very true--‘It is about using our knowledge and expertise to foresee and side-step roadblocks, revise unrealistic timelines and debunk myths.’ And I couldn’t agree more.

But there are times when I am not there to coach a client and it seems prudent to share information with you on how to manage your own set of expectations when it comes to improving your organizing or time management skills.

Foresee and side-step roadblocks

If you have tried to improve your skills in the past, but have not been successful over the short or long-term, step back and think about the types of roadblocks that interfered with your success. Was time committed to your calendar? Did you lack information? Did you lack of support? Wrong tools? Did you even have ownership of your goal? Or maybe it was perfectionism that got in the way. As I have said in the past and continue to say, the goal is to be successful…not perfect. Identifying past roadblocks will help you become more aware of them so that you may be better prepared to overcome them and reach your goal.

Revise unrealistic timelines

Your organizing and time management challenges didn’t happen over night and they won’t be solved overnight. Give yourself some leeway.

Select some milestone dates, put them on you calendar and revise them only if absolutely necessary. For example, “Have an organized office by 12/31/05.” In between these milestones select smaller tasks that you will do to build to your milestone date. For example, “Organize the desktop” or “Organize a filing drawer”. Smaller activities routinely spaced apart help lead to your milestone date.

Debunk myths

Maybe there are some myths floating around in your mind. Things like, ‘touch a piece of paper only once’, ‘someone else can organize my workspace and it will work for me’, or my all time favorite…’I don’t have time to get organized’. These are old, ineffective recordings that are repeating in your head. Toss them aside and replace them with something that moves you forward. For example, ‘I can find paper, time and peace of mind if I begin NOW.’

That change is a fact of life does little to mitigate people's usual reactions to it, namely fear, suspicion, and resistance. That's why it's critical to have a plan for communicating and managing during transition that takes into account that an individual's perception about events equals his or her reality. Whether you're managing change on a scale as grand as a company sale or as localized as a new department structure, here are some tips for smoothing the transition from what is to what is to be.

Once you have an idea of what you want to do, don't second guess yourself. Instead, build a solid plan for your vision and move forward with careand professionalism.

Five years ago, a couple of instructors that I was working with and I were brainstorming about different ways to promote our training programs more easily. Up to that point, I had spent my entire career in training focused primarily on helping individuals become more successful by helping them strengthen certain skill sets such as public speaking, management skills, and selling skills. We noticed that out of our classes, about 80% of participants were individuals, about 15% came with a friend, and about 5% came as a group. We knew that these groups who attended together leveraged the results of the programs significantly, because they held each other accountable for implementation of the skills. They also discussed the class within the office setting. What we didn't know was why more teams weren't registering.
