Summary
Training meetings are some of the most important meetings a business schedules, and you don't have to be a professional trainer to conduct a training meeting. Proper planning, organized content, and attention to the detail can make your training meetings effective.
Training meetings sometimes get a bad reputation because they are called for the wrong reason. Training should connect to a business goal or metric. Participants need to understand why they are there and get the opportunity to practice what they've learned—both during training and on the job. This helps people retain the material and make training a success.
The same holds true for our next chapter on employee performance meetings. Managers do not need to fear this meeting. It's a natural part of business. We will see how to structure those sessions for results.
