How would you address volunteers who resist training to enhance their project skills?

Strategies to address this issue effectively: 1. Understand their reasons for resisting training. 2. Communicate the Benefits: Emphasize how the training will help them grow personally and professionally. 3. Make Training Relevant and Engaging. Customizing the training to address their needs can increase engagement. Use interactive and practical training methods to make learning more engaging and less of a chore. 4. Provide flexibility to accommodate their schedules and learning preferences. 6. Address Concerns and Seek Feedback. 7. Set Clear Expectations and Discuss Consequences. Frame it as a necessary step to maintain effectiveness and quality. 8. Show Appreciation: Positive reinforcement can help boost motivation.

While it’s always important to know the “why “ , I’m always dumbfounded when people refuse training. No matter how seasoned you are in what you do, to learn more or even just to hear things from someone else’s perspective can expand what you already know or help you see it through a different lens.

Si los voluntarios se resisten a la capacitación, es importante tratar de ver con sus ojos las complicaciones que puedan tener. Las inseguridades, el miedo al fracaso, incluso salir de su lugar cómodo ocasiona un fuerte rechazo al cambio. Uno no debe ser intruso en las luchas internas de los voluntarios, sino tratar de aplicar estrategias y gestionar la empatía, no obligar, simplemente acompa?ar. Probablemente incorporar la figura del tutor voluntario para quienes no cuentan con la seguridad de responder a una capacitación, puede ser clave en el desarrollo de sus habilidades y generación de autoestima en el camino elegido.

I’ll tell them the latín fábula of Menenio Agrippa. He addrressed plebei of Ancient Rome due theyr strike against Patrizi. He referred of human body where the brain leads arms and legs. He Made them a question like that may arms and legs could move without a brain. The audience answered no, therefore at same time any body can do any thing without them. They are the arms and legs by which the community cannot do without and this a reason each of us should act according theyr skills and capabilties accordingly.

I find that listening actively to understand solves almost all such kinds of issues. When volunteers feel heard and understood they become much more receptive and responsive.

I would speak to the volunteers and find out what challenges if any they have with the training. Through understanding their challenges I would find a way to set clear goals on how to approach the training program ensuring that their challenges are addressed. I believe when they feel heard and part of resolution, motivation levels would increase leading to less resistance.

Begin by adding this information to your volunteer forms and discuss before volunteer becomes active with your organization. For current volunteers, you could ask them to complete your new volunteer form and discuss changes.

If I ever have to live another life again, I will live it differently, I will speak less, meditate more, slow to anger, less stress, be more flexible, having less friends, be closer to God and stay away from church people. Give more opportunity to the needy and encourage people to practice good deeds, living a private life, stay away from social media, avoid Croud of people and create an environment of love, peace and harmony for all to feel safe and secured for years to come.

7- Preguntarle qué quiere hacer, qué le anima, en qué le gustaría formarse. Ser voluntario es una decisión personal, su formación también, y quizá el factor que lo desanima es externo ó interno, eso es lo primero que hay que averiguar. Escuchar a los voluntarios.
