You'll Soon Get the Hang of It

This John Cleese Training Video does not feature John Cleese.

Aim: Guidelines for coaching employees to do their job.

The video: You'll Soon Get The Hang Of It is the definitive program on the techniques of one-to-one training. Hugh Laurie looks at both the theory and practice of training in a humorous and memorable fashion.

This program explains how important it is for managers and team leaders to have the skills to teach people in their care. It introduces a variety of scenarios: a warehouse, an office, a hotel and even a dentist's office to demonstrate the psychology of why people want to learn and then how to help them.

The lessons show how to put the training into context, divide the process into segments, and ensure the trainee practices at every step. This must be followed by praise and encouragement, and a review at every stage of progress.

As Hugh Laurie points out: "It's human nature to want to learn; the desire is already there. A trainer's job is to give it a nudge every now and then."
