Something Special For You And Your Team

Totally motivate your training team by giving them everything they need to develop learner centred workshops that have a positive impact upon the organisation and say "NO" to dry material.

With the increasing pressure upon training departments to deliver, deliver, deliver - we often forget about our own or our teams need for new training ideas and techniques.  Without these techniques, training can get boring, dull and routine - resulting in content with low retention.

As a training team you'll know that getting learners to buy-into a training process, have them totally involved throughout the training and them implement what they learn back into the workplace can be an up-hill struggle - especially if you have dull, dry content.

Maybe you have tried offering some ideas to the team but don't have the time, enough new tools and techniques to offer or need updating yourself and don't know where to get proven ways to make the changes you know your team needs.

Do any of the following sound familiar?

  • Training can be dry with more 'tell' than 'do'.
  • Your team needs new training tools and techniques to help bring their workshops alive and re-energise themselves?
  • Too much content and not enough time?
  • You need to re-develop workshop with new openings, closings, review techniques, interactive ideas etc.
  • You let learners die a slow 'Death by PowerPoint' because you feel it's the only way to cover the content.
  • Your team use a lot of interactivity but when faces with the comment, "That's just fluffy nonsense, just give me the facts" they don't have the scientific research to back-up what they instinctively know works.
  • Your team have or moving towards 'trainer burnout'.

Well here's the good news!

Being a trainer for the past 25 years I've accumulated thousands of ways of making training fun, a real learner centred process and that is almost guaranteed to have an impact upon the performance of learners back in the workplace.  I've done all the hard work for your team and I'm prepared for them to take away and implement everything into their own workshops.  Working together, we'll design a workshop with exactly the tools and techniques your trainers want and need to top-up their trainers toolbox to overflowing.

Together we'll discuss your objectives for your team ie what you want them to do differently as a result of their workshop, we'll talk about how you can support and measure this post-workshop and we'll decide how long this workshop should be (1, 2, 3+ days).

Regardless of your objective, expect your  workshop to be totally 'brain friendly', energising for your team and a lot of relevant fun.

'More ideas and techniques than you could use in a year!'

Some of the ideas you can select from to help achieve the objective you have for you and your team:

  • How to increase retention by up to 34% with great priming.
  • How to get learners buy-in even before they arrive for their workshop.
  • Creating an enriched environment to maximise learning potential.
  • How to Create an 'Opening That Ignites The Room'.
  • 3 Vital checks for an Effective Opening.
  • How to write measurable, behaviour based objectives in 3 easy steps.
  • How to separate the need-to-know content from the 'nice-to-know' content.
  • The power or the learning cycle.
  • Reaching all of your learners all of the time.
  • How to bring dry material alive.
  • How to start/re-start multi-day workshops that are totally learner centred.
  • How the brain learns.
  • Practical techniques to turn your workshops into a brain-friendly process.
  • How to manage 'Hot and Spicy' learners.
  • When to use music and when NOT to use it.
  • Producing Red Hot Handouts.
  • To review or not review - that is the question (over 33 Creative Reviews).
  • How to Prove your Worth.
  • How to produce States for Optimal Learning.
  • Close with Flair (12 ready to use closes).

....And many many more

Tools and techniques themselves are fine, but so what?  Imagine your teams training aligns itself directly to the strategic plan of the organisation, has 'real' tangible, observable and measurable outcomes that will put you in the ideal place to start and prove the worth of training team to the organisation - instead of being seen as an expense.  And, your learners will feel that their workshop was totally focused on them and their individual needs.  Not only that, but the process your team will be using is a facilitative role, ie learners will be doing all of the discoveries themselves while your team guide the way.  Imagine never again having dry material or learners that just don't want to be there.  Your team will leave their workshop with more practical, easy to use and results orientated tools and techniques than you'll be able to use in a year.

But don't just take my word for it, look to the left of this page and read what learners have said about their workshops.
