Extensive research into human personality shows that only a small part of it can be improved or unlearned through training. Without insight into an individual’s unique characteristics, training is largely ineffective, with only a few benefiting significantly and the majority’s time not being spent efficiently.
According to Wim Groenendijk, former Director of training agency VDS International, with more than thirty years of experience in training professionals, only 30% of training courses deliver concrete results. This underlines the importance of selectivity and customization in training programs.
The core of the problem lies in the fact that not all skills are trainable, depending on the personality profile of the participant. Research by Paul Lagerweij, behavioral expert, shows that of the approximately 67 personality traits, a third are genetically determined and therefore unchangeable. In these cases, training can at most help you to deal better with these characteristics. For example, someone with a natural tendency toward anger can learn to control this emotion and channel it in a constructive way.
For the development of skills such as empathy and decision-making skills, which are not genetically determined, a targeted training program can contribute significantly to personal growth.
Essentive’s approach: A different vision on training
At Essentive we believe in an approach that starts with a thorough analysis of the participants’ personalities. This allows us to propose tailor-made training programs that truly meet the development needs of individuals.
Through our focus on the individual needs and potential of participants, we aim to significantly increase the effectiveness of training. We have experienced that a personal approach, in which personality traits are measured and analyzed in advance, is the key to achieving tangible results and a valuable investment in development.
