Team Presenting with Tero International

Sometimes we are called on to present with another member of our company. Or perhaps it's a leadership meeting and the company leaders are presenting together. Or, perhaps we're reporting on an event. It doesn't much matter the size of the group we are presenting to...what matters is how well prepared we are to "team teach". Here we talk about that with two Tero International trainers. Maureen Berger and Ben Crosby share some tips and insights into working together and making the communication...work.

Only The Best Make It - The Trainer Certification Program from Tero International

I sat down with Deborah Rinner the Vice President and Chief Learning Officer of Tero International to talk about the certification program that is unique to Tero. What they do to find top quality talent and then train them to consistantly go out and train their clients seems exhausting. But, in the end, the company develops people like Candice Johnson whom you will also meet here. Of Candice, Deb said, "Who she is as a person is what we look for as we develop the talent to go out and represent our brand among our clients." Clearly this is a team that understands it's more than simply learning...it's also in the DNA of the perspective trainer.
