7.5.4 The role of public sector training institutions: Institutional design and capacity building
Many believe that public sector training institutions are intrinsically unable to support the training needs of the poor and disadvantaged and that, for this reason, primary reliance should be placed on NGOs and other private sector training institutions.

Gratification in Action
Most people want instant gratification. The good news is that when you're pursuing genuine Core Desires, in most cases you experience constant gratification. You don't have to wait to have fun or joy when you are on the path leading toward your genuine Core Desire. Having a life in which everything you do is driven by Core Desires-things you love to do or be-is the most satisfying and fulfilling way to live. When you embark on the journey to identify your Core Desires, you will open up to a new way of living-a life where everything you ever wanted will be available to you or you will be on the path toward it, and loving every minute of it.
Turn On The Switch To Your Hidden Energy
Although many people acknowledge that we are born with an incredible, God-given power to do, have, or become whatever we want, no one has explained what it is or how to turn it on. We wonder, "Where is the switch to my hidden energy?" Your Core Desire is the switch. Having your heart fixed on your Core Desires is how your latent talents, gifts, and abilities are unleashed. Once you have a genuine, clear, and accurately defined Core Desire, you will expend all the necessary effort, for as long as it takes, to overcome any obstacle in your way in order to achieve it.
Core Desires Ignite the Conquering Force
Core Desires are the ignition mechanism for the Conquering Force. This is what a Core Desire can do in your life- ignite the Conquering Force within you. I've taught hundreds of karate students, most of whom indicated they wanted to be black belts, but few of them ever achieved that distinction. Not because they didn't have the ability but because it wasn't a Core Desire. The sooner you identify your Core Desires, the sooner your Conquering Force kicks in. Then, and only then, will you truly have what it takes to achieve at high levels, which is where the greatest joy and happiness can be found.
The Source of Motivation and Determination
When a person persists at a task, we say that person has determination or motivation. But where does that determination come from? Some would say it comes from dedication, commitment, or sense of duty. But I believe that Core Desires are the sole source of both the determination and the motivation that are critical for success. If you are not pursuing a Core Desire, you won't be very motivated or dedicated. You won't pursue something relentlessly unless it is a Core Desire.
Struggle If You Must During Career Transition, But Why Should You?
To advance forward is to advance to new perspectives by developing new competencies in both soft and hard skills. What is meant by soft and hard skills? I see the hard skills as those that are produced. They are measurable, quantifiable and can be observed outside of self. They have empirical evidence. For example, when a client of mine has a goal to make a career transition into another field of interest and she/he has succeeded, it is obvious to everyone who is familiar with him/her. It is measurable in that the client did break away from one profession and moved into another, which could be seen by others.

Soft Skills, Hard Numbers
Leaders know they need the "soft" skills but the book-keepers require "justification" for the results. However, in this "soft" economy with reduced staff, every conversation contributes to the "bottom line".
Be a Change Management Rocket Scientist
When you get down to it, change management is a pretty “soft science” – a combination of ideas from organizational psychology, sociology, cultural anthropology (and some other things ending in “ology” that I can’t remember). This, however, does not impress our friends in the “hard sciences” (engineers, chemists, physicists and other things not ending in “ology”). These guys become suspicious if you talk to them about things you can’t put in a test tube. “Show me the empirical evidence” they say when you talk to them about the soft-side of organizational change. “I want to see the data” or “give me the formula”. This is when a change manager turns into a rocket scientist and pulls out their secret scientific weapon the CHANGE EQUATION!

Soft Skills Training
It is often argued that the education of hard skills is becoming more prevalent in schools and, as such, graduates are coming out more skilled than ever. Hard skills relate to abilities that are testable, such as typing or mathematical skills. Unfortunately, soft skills are often neglected and today’s grads find themselves incredibly skilled but unable to practically implement what they’ve learned. Soft skills relate to teamwork and interpersonal skills.
Align Your Strategy and Operational Plans to Core Competencies
Core competencies are the underpinnings of an organization’s skills and the cornerstone of successful strategic execution. Core competencies represent the fundamental knowledge, abilities, and expertise of an organization. They are what make individuals and organizations unique. Furthermore, your ability to understand and measure organizational core competencies is a critical factor in reaching your desired goals.

Building the core of a business is essential, but not always easy to do. Helping an entrepreneur to understand her role as the core of her company is important, and here, we explain the reasons why building a business around the core – yourself – is so crucial.
