The county manager handed me training about two years ago. This really wouldn’t be so bad if I were in fact even slightly capable. However, I’m no teacher, and I don’t see corporate popping for a “train the trainer” boot camp any time soon.
I’ve struggled through Office, Basic Computing, Customer Service, Inter/Intranet, Workplace Communication, and various other areas … but I truly suck at this.
I have no idea how to motivate these people. I hate coming down on “do this or be fired.” We already have that attitude coming down from management – we certainly don’t need to berate each other with it. I’ve tried playful, serious, hands off, hands on, integrated, seperated, etc…
I don’t know what else to do.
I feel like I’m standing in front of comatose patients.
Has anyone else had to take on training in the ever growing attempt to remain ‘alpha geek?’
Are there success tips anyone can offer?
Idea’s on materials that won’t bore users to tears?
Thanks!
