Corporate Trainer - Anne-Marie Esler Description of Job:
Experiences: I was raised in a family where learning and education were considered very important. Both my parents were teachers and so I guess I may have inherited some of their teaching genetics. Although I didn't always know I was going to grow up and become a trainer or a teacher for that matter, I haven't stopped studying since I left university and I guess teaching others was a natural progression for me.Opportunities: From that day on I haven't looked back. Two sessions became three, a part time position in the training area became a full position. Now I am the training manager! Education: My study of economics at university gave me a background into the financial industry and financial markets, an interest in this lead to my position at Zurich Financial Services. All my teachers at school kept asking me, because my parents were teachers, if I was going to become a teacher. I always said no, but I think now they would be surprised at how close they were! Training: When I started with Zurich, I went through an eight week induction program and since then I have been on countless course in customer service, managed investments, superannuation, retirement income streams, letter writing, change management, team leader and manager development courses and the list goes on. I am also currently undertaking external courses including a Graduate Diploma in Applied Finance and Investment, a Certificate IV in Workplace Training and Assessment and a Diploma in Financial Planning. I guess my point is that learning and education doesn't stop with school or university. Employment: Since then I have tried to overcome my spending habits and am now paying off a mortgage. Being in superannuation, I am also aware of the need to save for my retirement however, this can wait for a couple of years as I am only 25! My job is full of variety, I work with lots of different people and am hardly at my desk for more than ten minutes at a time. I deliver training sessions on a regular basis so people can always see the outcome of my work. Development: People who do extra study are rewarded with more opportunities as their interest is sometimes measured by how keen they are to learn.
Update October 2022 Anne-Marie is the Co-Founder of Padua Solutions along with her brother Matt.
