Even the Trainers...Train. A Back-Story from Tero International

Even the trainers get...trained. Here are several conversations with trainers from Tero International. We think you'll find this interestin.  The back-story is that we were invited to go and be part of the training session for Tero and then sat down with several of the Tero Trainers to ask about the experience. What is it that makes Tero International different when it comes to culture and to education….and, to the broader point…what does this mean to the clients they serve.  We kick it off by asking the founder of Tero International, Ro Crosbie, "Why train trainers?"
