Free Resources for Training Managers
Perhaps the bigger problem for training managers is not a shortage of free resources but knowing what resources are any good. I’ll start with the obvious – I try and make this blog useful for training managers and often offer free resources. Besides just being what I’m interested in, it’s good marketing for me and free stuff for you. Here are a few of the more useful training manager related articles and resources from this blog and my business training site:
Free Stress Management Resources
General Business Training Tips
Research on Stress Management, Leadership, Communication and Team Building
Training Manager Resources From This Blog
Many of these such as Training Zone (particularly good), CIPD (good for jobs) and Training Journal also offer some free training resources.
How to Communicate in Meetings
Why Most Training Doesn’t Work
What Makes Effective Team Building
Centring (getting yourself together)
See also the blogs and business sites I link to, many of these regularly offer free resources for training managers.
Some Training Manager Resources From the Web
These are a few sites I have found useful:
How to be happy
Because otherwise what’s the point?
Business Balls
Probably my favourite source of free training resources from the web -ugly interface but very very useful. Covers many aspects of training from health and safety, to team building to stress management.
Mindtools Newsletter
My favourite newsletter with loads of useful training resources.
E-Learning Resources
NOt sure what these guys are like -let me know.
Traditionally a dry government site but getting better
Hard to separate the wheat from the crap, but still some good stuff on there. For example Randy Pausch on time management
A good online training publication. Their own list of training manager resources is excellent.
It seems pointless at first but when you’re connected to the right people (see my follow-list for a start) it’s a great training resource.
Just a random nugget.
and even a… Dating Site for Training Managers
