Training in 'How To Train' - 1 day

The first half of the day

• We will look at learning in the broadest sense, and why training can be the best way for anyone to learn anything.
• We study how to engage people and get them into the right frame of mind to take on new information.
• We discuss the difference between listening and remembering, and how and when the trainees need to take notes.
• We will look closely at how a trainer needs to use their voice and body to help the trainees learn.
• We look at how to deliver completely new concepts that require people to change quickly. Additionally, how the trainer can present something as 'different' not 'difficult'.
• We work on developing a trainer's humour and insight so that they are able to be empathetic but always visionary and not too close to being drawn into discussions about process.

• We practice and start by training each other in something we are an expert in that is not related to work.
• Each delegate then trains a 10 minute prepared session and is given feedback from the group. They then return to the least successful part that session and work on that one part and retrain it again.
• Each trainer acknowledges each other trainers greatest strengths, which in turn allows each trainer to set themselves a goal to achieve.

We then format all the notes taken during training. We then send each trainer a copy of these notes with some specific notes for them of what to be aware of with regard to their own style.
