Assess training needs. A needs assessment helps you determine which teams or employees need training, what training they need, and the best ways to deliver it. Begin by conducting a thorough assessment of the organization’s training needs. Identify skills gaps, job-specific requirements, and areas for improvement. Gather input from employees, supervisors, and HR professionals to determine the training priorities.  Establish clear and measurable objectives for the training program. Define what skills and knowledge employees should acquire and outline the expected outcomes. These objectives will serve as a roadmap for designing the training content. 

The key is understanding my client's complete picture BEFORE creating their plan. Such as: - Work hours - Travel demands - Family commitments - Sleep and stress patterns - Exercise history and preferences This information enables me to build a truly bespoke program so they get the best results possible with the time they have available to train. The 2nd step is to look at "The Other 165." These are the hours outside the gym that truly determine success. By focusing on lifestyle change and habit building, my clients are able to get the body they want without needing to spend all of their free time in the gym or be perfect with their diet every day.

In talking to clients about finding time to exercise, I try to remind them that taking care of their own needs first would enable them to gain strength from it and then be able to face the challenges with confidence that comes with having success with your own personal goals. I feel that if you can make your workout the top priority of the day by getting it done before all else, then the rest of your days goal will be much easier to achieve.

To balance client schedules and custom training: Assess: Know their availability and goals. Plan: Use scheduling tools, make flexible plans. Communicate: Stay in touch, be responsive. Adapt: Be ready to change plans as needed.
