You know what word we can’t stand? Trainers. Or training.
That’s because training assumes everyone has the exact same issues that can be solved by using “tools” or applying “solutions” from a standard bag of tricks. It’s a cookie-cutter approach.
Chances are your employees, too, hear the word “training” want to run for the hills. Think about it: Sexual harassment training. Ethics training, computer training, software training. And it tends to take place for hours on end, in stuffy, fluorescent-lit rooms or, worse, in “self-paced” online modules that actually require employees to remain on each page of the “course” for a set number of minutes.
Ridiculous.
And yet your employees do need to learn how to do their jobs better. If they don’t have opportunities to learn, you’re going to see burnout—which means lackluster performance, a plateau—or even a decline—in productivity, and a lack of innovation. Worse, burnt out employees may start to “poison the well” of your workplace with gossip or conspiracy theories.
Enter Eager Mondays.
We help employees become better learners. We emphasize curiosity, creativity, competence, and confidence.
Our methods of professional development are, at least in the world of “trainers,” unconventional. That’s because we draw on decades of experience in the university classroom, where we’ve both won awards for teaching engaging, interactive courses where we listen to students instead of just talking at them.
So here’s what Eager Mondays does: We talk with you about where you want your business to be, or your hopes for your employees. We talk with your employees. We discover their knowledge, strengths, and desires—and what inspires them.
Then we find the intersection of your hopes and their dreams, and work with you to make it a reality. The result? Increased engagement. Greater innovation. Growth all around.
Or maybe you’re the one who wants to learn. Whether you’re a solopreneur, employed by someone else, or an executive in a large firm, we can craft a professional development plan for you, entirely confidentially.
Whether we’re helping you or your staff, we also help you develop fair and effective methods of evaluating performance and preparing for further growth.
Let’s talk. Drop Andy a line at andy -at- EagerMondays -dot- com.
