What's involved in making training stick? A professional trainer is only as good as the lessons they leave with their students. If the lesson doesn't stick, then the trainer has missed the mark.

It's up to the trainer to blend the two fields of thought to present a course that is effective and that stays with the learners. Making Training Stick helps trainers do just that.
