A creature of habit

In my seminars I encourage people to speak up, so I guess over time I have created a habit of asking for their input.

The extent to which I have adopted this style became evident yesterday when I was in someone else's program as a participant.

I guess I'm not surprised that I was chosen by them as the person to report back from the syndicates, but even I was surprised when I did so. I was in the group assigned to explore the policy on car usage as part of an induction program for a place where I am doing some contracting work.

The policy was easily divided into safe workplaces, safe drivers, safe vehicles.But I just couldn't help myself.

When I showed the butcher's paper with those written on them, I asked the whole seminar - "What do you think we meant by safe workplaces?"

Of course I wasn't surprised when the answers flowed.

The learning point?

With the right attitude it is impossible not to involve other learners and so make the training event interesting to them.
