Training VS Education

I've just watched a fabulous clip on uTube by Nido Qubein - talking about the difference between training versus education. It's definitely worth checking out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrZE4whoziU.

It's made me start to think about what I do. I call myself a trainer and coach - but after watching Nido, I'm now inclined to call myself an educator and coach. Especially at the end where he says "when my wife and I teach them what counts, that my friends ... is education."

Watching this has been part of my preparation to pull apart a 2-day Presentation Skills course and turn it into a 6 x 3 hour chunks course. The tricky thing with that is having the time in 3 hours to give a solid piece of content as well as enable the participants to give a presentation and receive feedback. I definitely think this is training that will have to evolve at it proceeds from week to week - to make sure it remains interactive and practical.I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes.
