Editor's note

Welcome to the Training Zone community.

 

 
 
 
TrainingZone is the UK's leading independent community of people who work in the world of learning and development. We are an enthusiastic and engaged community of professionals who use this site to: learn from our peers via the Any Answers forum; read the latest opinion and discourse from a wide variety of thought leaders at the coalface of L&D; and opinionate and ruminate on a wide variety of subjects through the discussions section. And that's really just the tip of the iceberg - have a look around and see how useful this community can be for you.
 
May's theme is Coaching. What is it? Why do companies need it? How do you become qualified? What are the different ways in which it can be applied most effectively to improve employee performance? But the site isn't by any means devoted to this theme, there's much more going on besides, so do have an explore. This is your community. We've had a lot of new bloggers join in the debate recently so visit the blogs to read the latest from the new members of our blogosphere.
 
Here's details of our next webinar: 'The Online Coach – 10 tips for developing people when working remotely' takes place on Thursday 24 May at midday, it's completely free and you can sign up for it here.
 
And remember, if you have a training event or awards ceremony that you would like listed, just get in touch at editor@trainingzone.co.uk
 
Regular features like the caption competition and book club will carry on of course, so keep your peepers peeled for them too. 

 

Kind regards,

Jon Kennard
