Preparation

Hello Readers,

People often ask me how do I prepare for my training classes or workshops. Below are 7 tips I stand by:

1. I very seldom rush in the mornings.
2. My clothes are ironed and prepared 2-3 days in advance for the work week.
3. I read my materials and practice daily up until time for the training.
4. I arrive to the training early enough to acclimate myself with the environment.
5. I have printouts and materials done 1-2 weeks in advance.
6. I conduct research on the audience I am teaching.
7. I pay attention to what I am saying to the learners. It is all about the learner not me.

There are many other prep tips I follow, these are the main ones. I heard a very thought provoking phrase earlier this month and it is for us to be "prepared for the prepared." Therefore these tips help me to do such. I hope they help you prepare for what is already ahead for you. Be prepared for the prepared. Preparation leads to success.

Your thoughts are welcome

Excellence vs Perfection



Hello Readers,

Excellence is defined as the point of a person or thing excelling in a particular area. Excellence means putting in your 100% effort and knowing you have done your best. Excellence does not mean perfection. Perfection by definition means without any flaws. I am not sure about you but I do not know anyone who does anything to perfection. Any process of anything can always be improved. If perfection was the end goal then we would not need innovation. Something can be done with excellence and not be perfect. Remember excellence is in the eye of the beholder, therefore what you put your 100% effort into will show in the long run. Most people are looking for effort and excellence not perfection. Think about it.
