Get Your Ego Out of the Way – Be of Service as a Trainer

Training & Assessment Professional Development

🎧 Podcast: Training & Assessment Professional Development with Donna Moulds

Are you walking into your training sessions to impress, or to make an impact? In this powerful episode, Donna explores what it truly means to show up as a trainer who leads with intention, humility, and service.

Too often in the world of training and facilitation, ego sneaks in — and when it does, it blocks the very thing we’re there to support: learning. Donna breaks down why ego has no place in the training space, and how shifting your mindset from “expert” to “guide” is where true transformation begins.

In this episode, we cover:

✅ What ego looks like in the training environment
✅ The difference between delivering content and facilitating growth
✅ Why learners thrive in spaces built on trust, not control
✅ The joy of witnessing real “aha” moments and what creates them
✅ Letting the learning flow through you — and why presence matters more than polish
✅ How to create an environment that empowers learners to grow and contribute

You’ll also hear real-life reflections and moments from Donna’s journey as a trainer, including the uncomfortable lessons, the breakthrough experiences, and the sheer magic of watching others step into their potential.

This episode is a must-listen for:

🎯 Trainers and Assessors
🎯 Learning & Development Professionals
🎯 Coaches and Facilitators
🎯 Leaders who support team growth and learning

📣 Final message: Check your intention before you step in front of a room. Are you leading with ego… or with service?
