For a brief time in my life, I was gifted an opportunity to be a educator, teaching basic computer skills to community college students. It was an enlightening experience, especially as I was the one who learned valuable lessons and skills in the process. What I learned is that it isn’t enough to share knowledge, or to speak at the students. I had to open myself to the students, to be present in their educational journey and engage with them and earn their trust.
Now I apply these lessons in my business. At Tinhorn Consulting, a key part of our business focus is to develop and implement training workshops for tribal entities and community partners. Because of our focus on Indian Country, our workshops are uniquely balanced to be respectful of cultural sensitivities and values.
My rule of thumb is that trainings ought to be informative, applicable to your business needs, and gratifying, i.e. “fun.” Participants in our workshops are engaged from beginning to end. We start with interactive icebreakers, identify consensus ground rules, apply concepts to real-world situations, and conclude with presentations by participants to share their learned knowledge.
Whether you’re the employee, manager or CEO, we all need a little help to hone our skills, improve communication and efficiency, or stay abreast of the latest in technology. Whatever your professional development needs are, Tinhorn Consulting can work with you.
