A Certificate Is Not a Practice Plan

I believe strongly in professional training.

I also believe there is an important question we need to ask after every training:

What happens Monday morning?

We can attend an excellent workshop.

Understand the concepts.

Complete the evaluation.

Receive the certificate.

And return to work using almost exactly the same habits we used before.

That does not necessarily mean the training failed.

There is another step between learning something and consistently using it.

Practice.
