I’ve really enjoyed Lockdown in a weird way – it was a time to kick back and reflect – and even better – to enjoy the glorious weather. My dogs have never been walked so much!
But now – we are back to the ‘new normal’ – whatever that is – and I have had to re-look at Benchmark and see how I can change what I do.
Traditionally I have always run classroom training – with people sitting and discussing and learning theory to take back to their work life – all in one room.
Now! With social distancing and all that that entails my training has had to go online.
This is a challenge to me as I am not that computer literate and I love working with people face to face. Staring at them over the Internet from their shoulders up is not my idea of full communication – and if they don’t want to put their video on it is like training over the telephone with very little interaction.
However! I was lucky enough to secure some online training and telemarketing with Montreaux Financial just before lockdown and their encouragement and support saw me doing Saturday morning training for their team in subjects from Cold Calling and Personal Sales to Team Leadership and Handling Difficult People.
Now my open course schedule is all online and are all half price during August, 2020

So why Lockdown leggings? During Lockdown all I wore was leggings and even now – when I am doing online training – I wear leggings with a shirt and scarf on my top half. The big question is – when the ‘new normal’ is here will I still fit into my trousers?
