I thought I'd tell you that 'The 3 Ps Icebreaker' I downloaded from your website worked well in a recent pilot class. It even helped the pilot trainer link to our companies' 'shared responsibilites.' Another trainer who was observing the class said she loved it and plans to use it for all her classes going forward. Thanks for providing a free, effective icebreaker!"

Hi, I’m Barbara Carnes , President of Carnes and Associates. For over twenty-five years I have worked with trainers and HR professionals, and I hear over and over how frustrating it is when the training is good and then participants go back to the job and don’t do anything different – the training doesn’t stick.
I’ve experienced this myself as a trainer and consultant. That’s why my colleague Dora Johnson and I wrote Making Training Stick and The Making Training Stick Field Guide, to provide Techniques to Integrate Education (TIEs) to link learning back to the job. We’ve provided specific, step-by-step instructions for each TIE which trainers can use in new or existing training – on any topic – to increase back-on-the-job transfer.
Over the years I have also found – time and again – that when participants take an assessment of their strengths, their skills, or their behavior, that it is a powerful motivator for them to learn and to change their behavior. I offer a collection of assessments which I have personally used for years, and I can tell you from experience, they work. They help people change and they help make training stick.
The most popular assessments are based on DiSC. The DiSC model of work behavior is a time-tested way to help employees, managers, and sales/customer service reps improve their people skills so they can do their jobs better.
Geared for the trainer and HR professional who doesn’t have a lot of time to spend preparing training or evaluating results, these time-tested tools will increase the impact of your next training or coaching – during the session and back on the job.
Take a look at the list on the right, look in our store and see the many resources we offer.
