“GET -START- GO”

Any  good result is the out come of planning  preparation and practice.  It is rightly said that “success is  never due to one thing but failure  can be .” No  trainer can  ignore the fact that he /she is constantly being assessed. The parameters and yardsticks of assessment may be different for different trainers.

Setting goals  is  important for any trainer.  However ,“My performance should be the best . I must deliver  well.  My presentation should stand out. My  role as a trainer  must stand apart. I should add such value to my training which none can .  I must bring that difference in the trainee which no other can bring..” such  affirmative statements may help initially only to the extent of   motivating a trainer  to think of working on oneself.  There is a  big gap between taking  decision to start and starting.    ‘Getting to do the work’ is something  which should strike  a trainer and set him/her in action.  We all decide to do many things. But do we actually do? is a  billion dollar question.

The wake up call can make a trainer get up from his/her seat ., get hold of what needs to be done.

In order to achieve the best, what needs to be done , will never be done, if it is not worked upon.   It is here one has to give a command to oneself  “TO START”.

To start is to : i) Visualize what needs to be done.

                         ii) Plan

                         iii) Prepare according to the plan.

                          iv) Revisit

                           v) Foresee the  problem areas

                          vi) Address the same

                         vii) Rehearse  and see whether you would appreciate your performance.

Notwithstanding  crossing the above two stages, the final stage would be to play the role. It is in this context  one has to give a command oneself  “ TO GO “  to the field.  Any inhibition that may prevent a trainer, or any thought that may withhold a trainer  from going ahead , or any  feeling pulling down the confidence of a trainer  can be handled with  affirmative statements like  “ I have  got the right plan of action in place . I have worked upon it.  I can handle the situation , if I go ahead, I will never fail. I can do the best ”   

Thus when a trainer is thorough with the first two steps, the third step takes care of itself .

“A year from now  you will wish you had started today.”
