Top Young Trainers - 2010

Budget and staff cuts in 2009 forced many young training professionals to do more with less, flex their leadership muscle, and create new cost-effective training solutions. Based on the nominations we received for Training magazine's 2010 Top Young Trainer (TYT) awards program, they responded to the challenge admirably. Our judges found it a difficult task to choose the winners out of so many deserving nominations. For the third year, we are pleased to recognize the outstanding talents, accomplishments, and leadership exhibited by 40 learning professionals age 40 and under.

Women Lead the Way

Much has been said about the hard road faced by women who seek top spots in corporate America. Many point out, for instance, that women executives still often are paid less than their male counterparts, and that they face stereotypes, such as not being tough enough for the job, that the weakestseeming man does not.

This is due in part to their perseverance, and in part to development programs that gave them a push in the right direction.

Lorri Freifeld Training Act II

My mentor, colleague, and friend Joyceann Cooney-Garippa always says, "When one door closes, another opens." In my case, I'm thrilled that the door opened to Training, Act II, allowing me to reprise my role as editor-in-chief of Training magazine, albeit from a slightly different stage as I'm now working from home.
