You’ve probably heard of getting training in real estate, but what about coaching?
Although most people would use the terms interchangeably there is actually a difference…
This difference can make a change in your overall effectiveness, success in business, and even your confidence.
Here is what we know:
Training
Training is used for very SPECIFIC initiatives and is usually a onetime event, conference, or gathering.
An example would be your association of REALTORS® rolls out a new version of the purchase agreement or your Multiple Listing Service has a new tool or process.
Training is also for things like new changes in process, procedures, technology, or even regulations.
All the training events you’ve probably attended in the past had a leader or a trainer.
Trainers are typically someone who walks you through a specific process to get a result on a specific item or task.
Fundamentals of Training:
- Takes place in a group setting
- Learning objectives is the focus
- Follows the show me, tell me, let me and test me model
- Directs learning
- Training typically has low to no levels of accountability
