What is Train to Ingrain?
Train to Ingrain is a carefully thought-out process of learning designed to enhance behavior change in supervisors.
Cognitive neuroscience tells us that to change a work habit, you have to reconnect brain cells into new pathways that enable new skills and behavior patterns. This physical growth process takes time. A substantial amount of practical application and reinforcement is needed, which almost never happens in the traditional approach to training and development.
Built upon decades of neuroscience research, Train-to-Ingrain is a new reinforcement-intensive approach to professional development that continuously stimulates appropriate brain cells to make new connections, thus forming new neural networks. If trainers, learners and their direct managers cooperate in this ongoing process, work habits and skills eventually replace old behavior patterns.
Train to Ingrain implemented thoroughly, will produce permanent measurable changes in the performance of your supervisors. We offer a number of ways to interact with the Train to Ingrain components to understand and evaluate this solution.
In each of the following steps of the process you will find an offer to experience the tool used in that step.
Step 1. Prepare the Managers to be the Coach. This step involves two substeps. First we hold an orientation for the managers to help them understand and commit to their role in this process. Second, we prepare the managers for this critical role with a coaching course designed to help them be a successful partner in Train to Ingrain. Both can be accomplished with the program Developing and Coaching Others.

Step 2. Baseline Assessment. The baseline assessment will measure any behaviors selected as part of the supervisor's developmental plan. We can set up a demo assessment experience for you, or provide you with samples of typical feedback reports. Contact us to discuss your evaluation wishes.
Step 3. Deliver the Classroom training. To preview any of the classroom content, email us and we will send your choice of the Facilitator kits. The $25.00 preview fee will be applied toward any purchase that is made.
Step 4. Reinforce the Classroom Content with online access to the training and videos. Free preview of any or all of our titles are available to you for up to 15 days.
Step 5. Managers as Coach. Your management team begins one-on-one coaching and observation while also implementing in-house support groups for supervisors. While we offer ideas and support to the managers in this component, this step is a essentially a "home grown" process which can take many forms. The key skills are taught in the course, Developing and Coaching Others and supplemented with a Self-Development Toolkit for the learner.
Step 6. Feedback Loop to support the supervisor in recognizing the learning that has taken place and to help set any new developmental goals. In this step, the manager gets a summary of the supervisor's feedback to use in the coaching process. Feedback loops can occur every few months to monitor change and success. Request a complimentary assessment of your leadership skills based on our Team Leader Behavior skill set.
We have put the whole process together in our Team Leader Café and would like to invite you to learn more. Call 800/864-4911
