Firstly, never criticise the training in front of your learners. No matter what’s going through your mind, just hold course and maintain your composure. Maintain your locus of control as internal as possible. Be the solution to your problems and don’t blame others. Represent yourself and organisation with dignity and integrity. Look the part, hold yourself well, and lead from the front. When things are tough, be tougher. We grow when we’re regularly put under pressure. From weight training and running, to dealing with conflict or intense emotional situations. The more we face it, the more resilient we become. And finally, be free to make mistakes and don’t let them define your training session. Move on and show your learners how confidently you can deal with problems. They’ll respect and trust you even more.
