"David, thank you so
much for such an inspirational day. As I said to you on Tuesday, I wasn't
sure that the day would hit so many buttons from the description you sent
me (I didn't think you really were going to focus on how you can fit a
quart in a pint pot so to speak) however what you provided myself and the
team was exactly what we needed - an injection of ways to really look at
training differently."

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
