Making Training Look Easy

Beginning of article

The term "multitasking" is well-known to Billy Sisk. As branch director for the Mississippi Department of Corrections, Sisk is responsible for all training for the Community Services Division. This means that he not only coordinates and prepares for the training sessions that are held in nearly every county in the state, he also conducts each and every one of them on his own. As soon as he completes one training session, he prepares for another. "Most employees would be whining and complaining, but there's not one instance that I can remember that he's complained," says Sisk's supervisor Clintis McCray, director of training for the Mississippi DOC.
