Welcome to Creative Training Techniques!

Bob Pike

Bob Pike, Editor

In 1988, I began producing Creative Training Techniques in partnership with Lakewood Publications (which was also the publisher of Training magazine at the time).

For the first few years of CTT’s existence, I wrote every single word of the newsletter, but I gradually turned over most of the writing to others – except, of course, for this column.

Beginning with this issue and increasingly throughout 2007, you will see changes in the newsletter. In some instances, we're going back to our roots to ensure that, every month, you find here more and more quick, practical tips, tactics, and techniques that you can immediately apply in order to increase the impact of your training.

At the same time, we're going to be moving forward by looking at all of the ways in which we can make your subscription more valuable to you.

As a member of the Bob Pike’s Creative Training Techniques newsletter™ membership site, you'll receive 6 valuable benefits:

At the Silver level
• The Creative Training Techniques monthly newsletter – both print and digital.
• Weekly Updates. Each week, Bob will add an article update—dealing with difficult participants, opening, closing, energizing, improving transfer of training, and more.

At the Gold Level
• All Silver benefits plus
• Twice Monthly Audio and Email Updates. Twice a month, you'll receive an email of all the articles added to the member's area as well as a downloadable AUDIO version of the articles
• Member's Only Forum. We have active members who post DAILY asking and receiving assistance to improve performance capabilities - and Bob is PERSONALLY INVOLVED by making posts to the forum on a regular basis.

At the Platinum Level
• All Silver and Gold benefits plus:
• Monthly Teleseminars. Sometimes Bob will bring a topic and other times he will interview gurus like Ken Blanchard and Elliott Masie. You’ll be able to join us live – or download the teleseminar later. Others will pay an average of $75 to attend any one teleseminar.

At all Levels
• There will be interactive participation. Ask A Question. Bob will review questions submitted by members and will answer them as updates for members. Suggest topics for the article updates!
