Training has become the subject of the world of business there is always a new concept, new practice new model and new skills that come up every few months, and you can see professional coaches and trainers are travelling all around the world to market it and write books about it and conduct seminars and conferences for it, these training tactics have been practiced before time but the question is that enough for the people of this era?

Today world has changed into small village where knowledge and information broadcast all around the world all day to all people, with this power of knowledge that previously wasn’t available people today have access to huge amount of knowledge and information through small devices that can be carried all the time even children use these devices these days, although the idea is to spread the knowledge in the world but it has made it challenging for those who provide training to cope with the knowledge people can and have obtained by the technology of today, you can see in many training courses, conferences, seminars and even leadership programs people always ask the providers what  new you have to add, or comments by didn’t we know that already, or this is basic staff, so why people have become more challenging when it comes to training these days?

To answer this question we have to remember that people are self motivated to seek for knowledge and information to help them achieve what they need to achieve, and with today technology can reach to massive books, articles, training courses, conferences, researches and other sources of knowledge and information by just sitting at home and click one button on their devices and obtain what they need, therefore when it comes to knowledge and information people are not like before where they lack resources of knowledge and information, that is why training is not what they seek anymore, so what people seek then?

People are guided by subconscious all what they know, practice, believe and react to is the result of their subconscious, whatever knowledge, information, skills, behavior they need to learn and practice it has to embraced in their subconscious first, but what this has to do with training? The normal training is providing for today people what they know or could know but what they seek is how to make it work for us, another word mean how to embrace it in our subconscious, not all people realize the concept of conscious and subconscious process in person life but they know that they need to know how to make it work for them since their conscious is already filled by all these knowledge and information they receive every single seconds of their life today and block it from the subconscious to make it work for them.

Now the question is does training not needed in today world? The t is answer for that is no, people will always need training such as kids, youth and junior employees but what people today most looking for is consultant coaching training, they need expert people to shift their paradigm, reach their subconscious and embrace the positive for change and adopt the knowledge and information for better life, achieving their objectives, career growth, taking risks and facing challenges by using what they already know, incorporating consultant and coaching within training is a skill that need experience and massive knowledge of human physiology, that is why it become more challenging for old school trainers to satisfy today people need.

Training today should be about counseling and coaching people subconscious and conscious toward embracing the positive knowledge and information during training and provide them with tools and ability to drive the change and practice the knowledge by their own so it can grow with them in time to an experience and way of life.
