    How many times have you heard that you should eat 4-6 small meals a day in order to get better results in weight loss and energy?  Yes many times, but what does this have to do with training employees?

    Think of typical training (a workshop or seminar) as a huge dinner.  When it’s over you feel uncomfortable, groggy, and maybe a little overwhelmed.  A typical training session can take any where from a half today to even a full week, and at the end you feel uncomfortable, groggy, and don’t remember half the information taught.

    Now think about how great and energized you feel after eating smaller meals or snacks through out the day, (Ok for most of us we will just imagine).  This is also how training is best digested, in small portions.

    Research shows adults remember and learn more in the long run when information is fed to them a little at a time over an extended period. When considering your next taste of training, pick a program that will have great results and make you feel great not groggy when you’re done.
