4 Habits that Develop Credibility as a Trainer

In 1987 I choose to go to Dallas Theological Seminary based on one thing- I wanted to sit under the teaching of Dr. Howard Hendricks. In this video I share 4 habits we can develop that will help elevate our level of credibility with those we mentor, teach or train.

If you’re trying to develop leaders for your leadership pipeline these four habits will help you stay fresh and teach with passion, which will increase your credibility.

Habit #1 – 2:00 – Position yourself as a learner

Habit #2 – 3:02 – Always carry a learning journal

Habit #3 – 4:34 – Always be growing in your area of expertise

Habit #4 – 6:30 – Always teach the freshest things your learning
