Why training on its own is not enough for successful transformations


My ambition is to transform the lives of individuals even if that means a loss from my side but I strongly believe that this #stayhome restrictions due to #coronavirus is a unique opportunity for bonding with our family and also becoming better professionals and pesons! No-one has an excuse not to do it anymore.

Recently, I was in Tunisia for delivering a training session on H2020 SwafS Calls, I was there for one week, although the the training was just for 3 hours! The reason was not that I wanted to spend more time in beautiful Tunisia but because during the rest of the week, I was busy by delivering one-to-one coaching sessions to potential key actors in SwafS.

I have been delivering trainings on EU funds the last 10 years almost full time and exclusively but quite recently, I came out to the following article [Brinkerhoff, R. O., & Brinkerhoff, R. O. (2006). Telling training’s story: Evaluation made simple, credible, and effective. San Francisco, CA: Berrett-Koehlerthat] that gives me the evidence that I have realised also in practice these 10 years. Namely, in any general training approach the following facts are apparent:

  • 15% don’t even try it
  • 70% try it out but then let it go
  • Only 15% successfully apply what they have learned

On the other hand, from personal experience, I have realised that as soon as training is combined with one-to-one coaching, we have the following incredible findings:

  • 0% don’t even try it
  • 100% successfully apply what they have learned

This is one of my greatest discoveries, that I highlight also in the video below recorded in Tunisia:

Based on the above and considering also that my mission is to transform individuals into better professionals and persons via training and coaching, I have decided to give the opportunity to all those that wish to transform their lives by giving them access to my monthly training courses as well as one-to-one live coaching remotely with me and my team every month for up to 30 minutes via my Funding Expert Accelerator programme. And all these for just 47 EUR! My ambition is to transform the lives of individuals even if that means a loss from my side but I strongly believe that this stayhome restrictions due to #coronavirus is a unique opportunity for bonding with our family and also becoming better professionals and persons! No-one has an excuse not to do it anymore.
