Employee Improvement | 10 Keys to Personal Development

People need the skills to handle their personal problems so they can have a mind dedicated to being better at their jobs. Those who have the skills to handle their personal problems are the same that can handle their work challenges. Teaching people to make better decisions, to respond more effectively in the face of challenges is NECESSARY!

Hi, My name is Teddy Galloway and I'm a veteran instructor who specializes in personal development education and training program development. I help organizations like yours develop business cultures that place success and excellence at the forefront through personal development training for employees.

I asked a 27 year old sales woman, who is #1 in her region over the last year, if she felt that her company is doing anything to improve her life? She answered "no". 

I asked her if she was looking for a new job after these 5 years, and she said "yes". 

I asked her if she would be happy to stay at her job if they invested time into employee personal development. She said, Yes!

Want to know why?

She laughed and said "It would be nice for me to know ways to feel more confident about myself and what I do. But I think it would be even better if the people I worked with were supportive of hard work and they themselves had skills to handle their personal problems. Their personal problems get in the way of their work and mine, and it's all we seem to talk about."

You've seen how personal problems create hardships for employees. The man going through a rough divorce sulks through the office with tired eyes and a negative attitude. The woman who's been up all night with her sick child doesn't know how to say she's having a rough day. The director of operations lost track of a project because he had a relative pass in the family and he doesn't know how to cope. 

Company training should offer real value. Good training increases happiness at work. We miss out on the chances to improve ourselves because we give so much of our energy to responsibilities. We set New Year resolutions in our personal lives, but we have a hard time finding "balance".

As a business leader, and the head coach of your team, you surely understand what your employees need. They need some time to improve themselves, and this will GREATLY improve the quality and quantity of their efforts. It's a no brainer.  

I deliver training that helps you craft the culture of success and excellence your business deserves by delivering a personal development training program. Together we will improve your employees and business operations.

The best part about my training: I help organizations craft a definition of success and standard of excellence that employees buy into.  

That's it. That's my guarantee.

I love teaching, building training programs from scratch, and most of all I love solving problems. That's the Marine in me. 

Are you Improving your employees lives?

That's where Eager Lion Training comes in.
