Training & learning

There was once a disciple of a great teacher. Day after day the disciple would sit at
the feet of his teacher listening to his instructions. Many people came to
visit the teacher and he inevitably engaged them by telling a story. 

One day the disciple asked; "Guruji, why do you engage people by means of
stories? Why don't you just give them your teaching straight out?"

The guru answered: "Bring me some water." 

Now the disciple knew his teacher to be a very formal and disciplined man. He
had never asked for water at this time of the day. Nevertheless, he went
immediately to fetch it. Taking a clean brass water pot from the ashram
kitchen, the disciple went to the well, filled the pot with water and returned.
He offered it to his teacher. 

"Why have you brought me a pot when I asked only for water?"
 
Likewise,
one cannot provide effective training without the pot of right knowledge,
skills, attitudes and thinking.

Moral of the story………..
 
"With great insight and grace,
the Behavioural trainer can influence the Behaviural and Attitudinal  changes in a learner and change is the end
result of true learning".
