I embraced this statement as a teacher many years ago and still embrace it as a speaker and educator. My question is which do you do more of Training or Educating?
They are not the same, right?
Training focuses on instruction, preparation, schooling, etc.
Education focuses on learning, tutoring, coaching, a process by which a person learns how to learn.
It seems to me that organizations ought to think about if their training topics are indeed training topics or are they education topics? Training and education, like compliance and ethics are related but distinctly different, particularly when it comes to identifying what you want the end results to be.
Some topics are indeed training issues and, I would suggest, that some other topics are education issues. This distinction also means that there may be times and situations when different people, due to their own training, are required. For example, a sales trainer trains people in the art of selling. When you deal with topics like ethics or values, an educator may be the better choice because of his/her education, background and experience
All have their expertise no doubt, but what could happen of one decides to try to train people in ethics? How does that work, reflecting on the synonyms of training and education above?
Is ethics a training topic or an education topic?

Like you, business ethics and ethical leadership expert, Frank Bucaro has seen the challenges and problems of corporate leadership, particularly over the past few years in regards to poor decision-making, SEC violations, and record breaking financial settlements in a number of different industries.
With over two decades of executive training, speaking, writing and with real life experiences, his view and approach to ethics in the workplace is uniquely different. He emphasizes that ethics is a moment-to-moment choice and has little to do with position, titles, personalities or education. Ethics is everybody’s responsibility from the top down.
His goal is to help organizations to:
a. Strengthen their ethics training initiatives in order to significantly decrease the odds of an ethical/compliance violation.
b. Energize, train and motivate employees to understand the value of consistent “high road” behavior as a business advantage.
c. Support individuals and thereby the organization by contributing to its success by quality, ongoing values based leadership development.
Frank is known for his very practical, slightly irreverent, yet somewhat humorous approach to ethics and leadership development. His conversational style and real life stories connect with his audience in a personal, intense and practical level.
Companies such as Bayer Healthcare, BP, ReMax International, EnMax Energy, Danone, etc. have partnered with Frank when they want to proactively stress the message, tools, insights and practical applications that good ethics IS good for business!
