dancer on the knife

In the spring of 2016, in Xingcheng in March, light rain fell continuously.But for people who have lived in this city for more than ten years, they are already used to this kind of weather.The cold weather made the body unable to resist for a while, and I caught a slight cold.But there just happened to be two days of training next, and I thought it was just a slight cold, so I should get better soon after taking some medicine.

I went very early on the day of the training, the training started at 08:30, and I arrived after [-]:[-].When I arrived, the human resources department hadn't gone to work yet, but I was used to waiting for the trainees to come to the training.I remember that I went to a client unit for training before, and I was shocked to see the general manager from Taiwan doing welcome service at the door alone, welcoming all management to attend the class.Afterwards, I asked him why he could let go of his identity like this, and he said something that impressed me deeply: as the general manager, if he serves the management well, the management can serve the employees well, and the employees can finally serve the customers well, so that the company can gain Long-term development, win a better reputation.Therefore, rushing to the training site in advance to wait for the trainees is not worth mentioning compared to the service concept of the general manager.

The training unit is a landscaping company, and their company is set up in a huge tempered shed.The training meeting room is on the second floor of a steel structure. When I opened the door of the meeting room, I saw that there was no air conditioning or sound system.I was somewhat surprised by the simplicity inside, and felt like I was back to the time when I went to the villages and towns for training. This was the first time I encountered it in my career.

My heart inevitably tightened, worrying that the cold would worsen.The organizers also put a few ovens in the training room, but compared to such an open space, the temperature naturally couldn't go up.You can only rely on your body to hold on, there is no other way.

As the saying goes, come and do whatever you want, after a day, as expected, the cold is more serious, in addition to more frequent nasal discharge, the throat is already so hoarse that I can hardly speak.

After returning home, I took cold medicine and throat medicine, but found that the effect was minimal.Thinking that there is still one day of training, I feel a little worried.

The next day, he was the first one to arrive at the training room and put a pack of tissues in front of the computer.There are many practical exercises in the morning, so the number of speeches can be reduced to a certain extent.Although I seldom speak, but due to the discomfort of my throat, I can't speak at noon.Thinking of the trainees rushing back to the headquarters for training from all over the world, they must persevere no matter what. This is also a basic professional ethics as a trainer.

In the middle of the afternoon class, I suddenly found that I could not speak, even after clearing my throat many times.That kind of fatigue makes people feel very helpless. For a person who lives by his voice, being unable to speak is so terrifying.I'm really worried that I won't be able to speak next, because I can't explain it to the customer.

I took a short break in the middle, drank some hot water, and felt a little better.He started lecturing non-stop again, his voice seemed to come out of a crack in the door, and he yelled out his voice bit by bit with all his might.The students also advised me to just take a break, but after all, the company paid me for the lectures, and I agreed, so I had to teach the course well and finish the content 100% without discount.In this special case, he just persisted until the end of the course.Although the sound of the lecture was a little affected, the students still gained a lot because of the overall content, form, and participation.

In fact, the loss of voice this time was completely avoidable.Because I was giving lectures in a suit, if I didn't take off my down jacket, my condition wouldn't get worse.Just as a trainer and a role model, first of all, you should not be too amateur in dressing.Giving up my body for the sake of my professional image, I always have to pay it back, so after class, I spent three weeks recovering my body, which is also a kind of punishment from my body.The tuition fee was not enough for treatment, and I paid part of it myself.But I don't regret it, because it is a wealth of life to be able to complete the teaching under such difficult conditions.As a trainer, only by experiencing a loss of voice can you know how to cherish your body.

Whenever I look back on the experience of losing my voice, I still feel that my heart is full of strength, which is a kind of strength that is not afraid of difficulties and goes forward bravely.Experience is the most precious wealth in life, and it also gives me a deeper understanding of the profession of trainer.Some things are better heard than experienced. It is not terrible to lose your voice, but what is terrible is that a difficulty makes you no longer dare to make the voice of preaching and teaching.

Sometimes I have been thinking about why when I was studying, I kept telling my parents that I would not consider going into medicine or teaching, but I couldn't help but fell in love with the podium, so that I could still persist even when I was sick.What is the reason?What made me change like this may be the influence of the environment, or it may be the influence of reading, but I can't say which one it is.

In fact, falling in love with the podium should be traced back to the third year of high school. I was lucky to rely on my smile to narrow the distance between my classmates, and directly laid a solid mass foundation for winning votes in the future.Ever since I became a working cadre, I feel that the whole person has a different spirit. I have a sense of responsibility and mission. I need to speak on the podium frequently. Going to the podium is also addictive. Since I stood on the podium, I gradually like it. on this stage.

When I arrived at the university, I won the first prize in the class speech contest with my passion.Although it's just a class, it's really not easy for people like us with mediocre academics to win an award.In fact, in that speech contest, I was more nervous than anyone else, and my legs were shaking all the time, but the podium blocked my legs, and the judges and classmates below didn't see it.After becoming the secretary of the Communist Youth League, I need to organize class meetings every week, and I have more and more opportunities to speak.After I joined the job and became the head of the department, I basically needed to hold meetings every week, every morning and evening.Various meetings at the company level are also opportunities for self-expression.Meeting after meeting has tempered myself and gradually spread my voice wider.

After starting my own business, as the consulting and training industry with low entry barriers, people have entered this industry one after another. The competition is naturally fierce. Simply having a customer base and industry experience can have a place in the competition.With the development of the company, I didn't intend to be a trainer, but driven by the business, in order to get more orders, I was forced to go to the podium, and it was a matter of course that I became a river and lake person who relied on his voice for food.When starting to take classes and become a career, the whole person feels spiritually satisfied.From the first one or two hours to the next one or two days, the tolerance of the voice has also been gradually improved.

For a trainer, loss of voice is a kind of growth. During the loss of voice, one can better understand and cherish the care and maintenance of the voice, and can better understand the meaning of vocalization.Every time I stand on the podium, my whole body is full of combat power, because the customer is urging me to move forward.Countless nights, I worked overtime until three or four o'clock in the morning, but the next day's lectures were still full of energy and energy, like a fish in water.I don't know what kind of changes will happen in my future life, but the mentality of learning will last forever.There is no loss of voice for no reason, it should be like guarding faith, because the voice can effectively convey a person's knowledge, experience, and wisdom, and it can shape a person's influence.

The days of losing your voice, do it and cherish it, don't live up to your expectations.On the way of teaching, if you want to go further and fly higher, you have to start with protecting your throat.
