New and experienced trainers alike will appreciate this book's tools, expert guidance, and practical advice on how to become a valued, strategic partner in your organization. Readers will learn how to bridge the gap between a trainer's dedication to the profession and the urgent need to find new and bottom-line ways to establish credibility with key organization stakeholders. Each chapter features one or two comprehensive self-assessment questionnaires to help readers assess their own path to organizational credibility.
