"When I first joined my current organization as their Corporate Trainer, I received criticism from a trainee in an anonymous post-training survey. The trainee said that it seemed I did not have an in-depth understanding of the manufacturing industry. This trainee was correct, and I felt a sting of embarrassment at first. I came to the role with a human resources background and previously worked in the logistics industry; however, I wasn't as knowledgeable in manufacturing as I could have been. I knew that this trainee's feedback was accurate, and it was my responsibility to improve so that I did not disappoint more trainees in the future. I quickly enrolled in a few courses, including Six Sigma for Beginners, Lean Manufacturing, Manufacturing Process, and Process Control. All of these were promoted by my organization and approved by my manager. I gained a much stronger understanding of manufacturing environments, operational best practices, business processes, and performance in a manufacturing environment through these courses. As a result, I felt much more confident that I could offer future trainees the best possible learning experience because I possessed a much stronger knowledge of their work environment and industry. The next time I facilitated the same training session, my lesson plans and delivery were much more in-depth, and I received a 100% feedback score from the trainees. It's never easy to receive negative comments; however, I will always consider helpful and honest criticism. I have learned to filter through feedback and listen to what is constructive. If hired as your Corporate Trainer, I will continue to use feedback as an opportunity to improve. Rather than taking feedback personally, I will look inward to understand further what I can do to improve. I will be proactive about implementing necessary changes and updates to my training sessions and identifying weaknesses so that the sessions are as impactful as possible for your deserving team."
