Chantal’s top take-away:
Do this exercise: Take a look back over the last 12 months and make a list of the training programs you and/or your team have completed. Then write a bullet point list of what actions have been implemented in your business as a direct result of that training. If there are still actions left to complete, then add them to your planning calendar for the next 3-6 months and allocate a champion to each task.
