Today turned out to be all about training.  Sometimes days just start to aggregate a theme.  I say aggregate because the theme arises out of little pieces of the day that start to glom onto each other.  Then, the entire day starts traveling down that track.  You start getting great ideas about that area of the business and afterwards you say to yourself, "my whole day was about x.  Yay x!"

The big issue for me was inviting some of our trainers to participate in an Instructional Systems Design workshop that I'm doing internally.  Currently I oversee all of our ISD and we have several experienced trainers who would be able to function in this role if they had more ... well, training!  One of the books I'm reading says that leaders define themselves by the time they devote to developing their people. I'll let you know when the course is over if I ended up with a definition!

So, here's the other training things that were part of today's ... day.

A: High School League is having their big workshop this weekend, where representatives from all our high school league teams come together and work with our players on how to do this better!  Jamie Campbell, our Training Center Manager, is building a wonderful program.  (Are you wondering what happened to our last TCM, Trish Vignola?  Check out "ISPN" at Donny's Skybox!)

B: The new section of training center classes starts this weekend!  I believe we have more people this term than we've had in years.

C: My own course is set to fly on March 27th.  "Be your own coach."  I'm going to use the workshop to teach improvisers some self-evaluation and self-development strategies so they can continue to work on themselves outside of class.
