“Once you start asking questions, you generally find that training is probably less than half the solution.”
- Richard “Bo” Bodo
How often have you been asked by internal clients to “fix” a team or performance problem through training? And how often has training only been part of the solution? Today’s guest highlights how important it is to ensure that L&D is helping its clients understand everything that needs to be considered or addressed in order for training to have any impact at all.
My guest is Richard “Bo” Bodo. Richard “Bo” Bodo is the Director of Learning & Development for Li-Cycle. Bo has over two decades of experience creating and facilitating training for adult learners. An avid contributor to industry knowledge, Bo enjoys sharing what he has learned through speaking at conferences, writing, and creating videos. A lifelong learner, Bo holds a Master of Instruction System Design designation from the Association for Talent Development and will soon finish a Bachelor of Science degree in Instructional System Design.

🍏 Some similarities between Sales and Training
🍏 How critical it is to recognize that training is only ever part of the solution
