It happened again. Today I received information on two separate learning events promised significant cognitive growth. A poet, inspection, these two ads to reinforce the reason why education is not for business. Let me explain.  You probably know, without thinking, ie, 10 x 10. However, when asked what his response is 25 x 24 would not be so fast. The simple reason is they are 10 x 10 storage settled practice of the strategy. Now call distance learning by repetition of memory.

You can, however, answered only 25 x 24 or twice during their lifetime. They do not have many opportunities to respond to this issue to learn multiplication. Some companies training and development of industry and K-12 education industries, which promise to be honest behavior. The only problem is that this change is very short.

Remember back during his time at school and examination eternal. Pour over the books before the night, hoping that all critical information. At the time of trial, people remember only 50%, especially if this is your first contact with the material. They had a 50% chance of a good question right or not. In fact, the material was much better for the multiple choice and fill in the answers.

Research tells us that 16 days after a single exposure to a learning event, you remember only 2%. If not, the student multiple exposures, the information and have more opportunities to practice what you learn, not only keep. But to continue to acquire companies and organizations to provide curriculum, I can not repeat, can not deliver sustainable performance improvement.

To really change the behavior of individuals requires more than learning to read, test and then forgotten. We must learn from the perspective of the power to restructure the application of knowledge rather than the current perspectives of learning, knowledge acquisition. American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) to continue his research, that most training is not a positive return on investment reveal the offer. But companies are sending their people to a three-day seminars in business education, hoping to change behavior.

Let me ask you a question. How long it takes for the person you have become? Usually years, to respond. Like you can change the behavior in years 1 to 3 days? In short, you can not!

Perhaps the reason for the guidance and coaching business-off because many of the buses using a process of development, learning extends for weeks and months, not hours or days.

A few years ago, my coach and now friend David Herd Stay pioneered the concept of Kash Fund. I was renewed in K.A.S.H. Case for sustainable change. The key message is that if funds focused exclusively on the knowledge and skills, not attitudes and practices are not sustainable change, and return on investment. The money comes from K.A.S.H. ventilation box. When my husband said, is not a question of what to do that, but I will.  be changed until the beliefs that are learning to change things, then we will experience less than positive performance of employees. This belief that learning to change behavior is the biggest obstacle to economic growth, without exception.

Save your money and invest in dollar extended learning engagement, a positive return on their education and training will provide U.S. $. Finally, remember that the brain can absorb what the butt will endure.
