FAQs

How do I develop someone who doesn’t believe they need any training/development?

To develop someone resistant to training, start by understanding their reasons for resistance and helping them recognise areas for growth through self-awareness tools like feedback. Emphasise how development can lead to career advancement, improved skills, and staying relevant in a changing world. Offer development opportunities that are directly linked to their daily tasks and career goals, while creating a supportive, growth-focused environment.
