New job wobbles

[Stressedgiraffe]

I started a new job 6 weeks ago. I worked in IT now an IT trainer. I'm not sure I can do it. I used to be a teacher so should be able to do it.
Please tell me to put big girl pants on and just do it!

Anyone?

What's making you doubt yourself?

Its been 20 years since I taught anything now ill be teaching my corporate job. What if I don't know everything?

First of all. You've been hired because of your experience. You need to trust in that.

Secondly, with ANY job, there's always the opportunity to learn new skills or information. Confident, or not.

Hi, I was an IT trainer for many years (looking to get back into it actually!)
You will have a wealth of knowledge from teacher training (it's more extensive and in-depth than CIPD imo).
As opposed to school, you'll have students who should be willing to learn. IT training is often mandatory and essential to roles. I've delivered various types of training and found IT generally the best received.
Learning and being aware of the corporate culture will be key. Maybe utilising the company's buzzwords (sigh) in your training/reports etc.
In some companies, I found it useful to be mindful of the quiet ones if you're doing classroom based training. Some work cultures make it difficult for people to admit they're lost, clueless and are leaving the room knowing nothing. Understandably, IT isnt everyone's strength.These were often my most rewarding 'students' to follow up and do discreet 1-1s with. Follow ups do help.
If you're being dropped in the deep end use strategies that work for you to manage it. I once had to train Snr mgt on a system I was still learning to use myself.
I chucked a flipchart up and took any questions on post-it notes. Saying we'd revisit them at the end of the day. Then panic-researched the answers at lunchtime.
Also bringing cakes/biscuits to F2Fsessions helps with the feedback.
I'm sure you'll be great. A knowledge expert plus a solid teaching background - you're a win.
