TRAINING: A GREAT CAREER ALTERNATIVE
培训：一项伟大的职业选择
When I was a little girl – almost too long ago to recall – I remember my teacher asking me what I wanted to be when I grew up. My reply without hesitation was, “Sunday school teacher.” She must have been a little too taken aback to reply as I can’t seem to recall what she had to say to that.
当我还是个小女孩时 – 时间太长，很难回忆了 — 我记得我的老师问我长大后想要做什么。我毫不犹豫地回答：“周日学校的老师。”她一定是花了很长时间才反应过来怎样回答我，因为我记不起她当时是怎么说的了。
Don’t ask me why I said that, perhaps my naïve mind was thinking, “Cool, I only need to work on Sundays!” Anyway, I never became a Sunday school teacher or even teacher, but instead became an Editor for a women’s magazine for nine years and today, I “teach” adults on a variety of topics from image and grooming to how one can design their life – my absolute passion.
不要问我为什么会说那样的话，或许我是天真地想：“太棒了，我只要在周日工作！”但是无论如何，我从没有成为一名周日学校的老师或是一名老师，而是成为了已经工作九年的并且至今仍是一本女性杂志的编辑，我“教”成年人怎样从形象和着装等各种主题去设计生活 – 这就是我全部的激情所在。
Anyway, the point to my story was: I don’t know about you but I’ve never heard a child who’s asked what he or she would like to be when they grow up, answer “Trainer.” They may say: “doctor”, “lawyer” or even “astronaut” but “trainer”??? I doubt so, and one is then tempted to engage in a lengthy discussion if a “trainer” is indeed a professional, as well as what exactly qualifies one to be a trainer.
不管怎么说，我的故事的要点就是：我不知道你是怎样的，但是我从来没有听说过一个孩子被问到长大想要做什么职业会回答“培训师”。他们也许会说“医生”、“律师”或者甚至是“宇航员”，但为什么却不是“培训师”？？？我很怀疑，而且一个人有意加入一场关于“培训师”是否真的是一种职业，以及一个人需要什么职业认证才能成为培训师的长期讨论。
But we shall not go that direction here. My objective in writing this article is to highlight that training can indeed be a fantastic career alternative that pays well, better than most other professions. In fact some of the more well-known world class speakers and trainers can be ranked in the same pay bracket as world class entertainers! Singapore trainers don’t do too badly either as they earn four-figure incomes per day.
但是我们不应该向那个方向考虑。我写这篇文章的目的是要强调培训真的可以成为一种比其他多数职业收入丰厚、很不错的职业选择。实际上，一些比较有名的世界级的演讲者和培训师的收入与世界级的艺人相差无几！新加坡培训师只要培训得不太差，一天也能赚得四位数的收入。
So what does it take to be a professional trainer? Experience, expertise and in my opinion, a passion for sharing. That would be at the very basic level. What is then needed to elevate one to the next level of being a good teacher/trainer/instructor/coach/motivator - and indeed a trainer is all of that and more – is the ability to communicate and present. As well-known speaker and trainer KC See once said, “Brilliance, without the capability to communicate or present it, is worth little in an organization.”
那么成为一名职业培训师有什么要求吗？根据我的观点是需要经验、专业知识和分享的激情。那只是非常基础的水平。而要评估这个人是否能成为下一个水平的好的老师/培训师/指导者/教练/激励者是包括所有的要求甚至更好 – 具有交流与表达的能力。作为一位著名的演讲者与培训师，KC See曾经说过：“如果没有沟通与表达的能力，聪明才智在组织中几乎没有价值。”
1. Communication Skills 沟通技巧
This is not so much about how eloquently you speak but rather, how well people understand you and how effectively your message is put across. At the end of the training period, there has to be productive change in the participants otherwise, as far as I’m concerned, the training objectives have not been met.
问题不在于你说话时显得多么能言善辩，而是在于人们能够对你所说的和你要传达的信息的理解程度及传递有效性。在培训的结束阶段，学员身上必须发生卓有成效的变化，否则的话，我认为培训目标就没有实现。
The highest level of communication which I personally would strive for as a communicator is what is known as persuasive communication. This takes place when the person(s) we are communicating with, 1) understands what we want to say, 2) feels what we are feeling and is then 3) motivated to take action on what we have said. Effective communication may stop short at (2); the listener may not necessarily want to do something about what he or she has just heard.
作为一名沟通者，我个人所追求的沟通的最高水平就是众所周知的具有说服力的沟通。这种情况发生在我们的沟通对象，1）理解我们想要说的，2）感我们所感，然后，3）被激励，按照我们说的采取行动。有效的沟通可能在第（2）步就停止了；听众可能不一定愿意按照他/她听到要求做。
There is so much to learn about communication that it’s truly an art, and a most fascinating one as well. There are so many elements to persuasive communication – body language, the art of asking questions…. You can see racks of books on this subject in the library or bookstore! I will certainly not attempt to oversimplify it in this short article. Suffice it to say, if you dedicate yourself to learning how to master this art, you will indeed be able to achieve whatever you set out to do in life.
关于怎样去沟通，我们有很多需要学习，这真的是一种艺术，而且是一种非常令人着迷的艺术。具有说服力的沟通具有许多元素 – 肢体语言、提问的艺术……。在图书馆或书店里，你可以看到很多这方面主题的书！我无法在这篇短小的文章里简要总结。要说的话，如果你致力于学习怎样掌握这门艺术，那么无论你在生活中做什么事你都能够做到。
2. Presentation Skills 演讲技巧
I’ve known many good communicators who do well one-to-one or in small groups but get tongue-tied when presenting from a stage. Hence, the term, stage-fright. I also know many who simply bloom when put on a stage. In fact, to some “born” performers, it seems like the world’s their stage and life is but a performance.
我已经认识很多能够在一对一或在小群体内的情况下表现良好的优秀沟通者，但是当他们站在舞台上时就会发音不清。这就是舞台恐惧症。我也认识很多人站在舞台上能够很自然地表达。实际上，对于一些“天生的”表演者而言，似乎世界就是他们的舞台，而生活只是一场表演。
So how can one move from the first group to the latter? Is good public speaking really something that’s inborn or can it be developed? Of course the skills can be learned and developed! You can learn how to get the butterflies to fly in formation! You can learn how to captivate and engage your audience. Once you’ve mastered the skills, I promise you, you will enjoy it… tremendously! And along the way, pick up some great income as well.
所以，一个人怎样才能从第一阶段转向后面的阶段呢？良好的公开演讲能力真的是天生的还是可以培养的？这种技巧当然是可以学会的、培养的！你能够学会怎样让蝴蝶排队飞行！你能够学会怎样吸引观众并且让他们参与进来。一旦你掌握了这种技巧，我肯定，你会受益无穷！而且同时，也获得可观的收入。
