Trouble Shooting Techniques for Trainers (Series)

1, 8 & 15 August 2018
ONLINE

The Trouble Shooting Techniques for Trainers webinar series, will help attendees to gain more control over their training and training outcomes by learning how to engage the attention of audience, make the learning more memorable and manage the impact of difficult participants.

Key topics covered within the webinar series

Session 1: How to Attract and Maintain the Attention of the Group

Great learning happens when the training is memorable. However, we need to attract and maintain the attention of our audience in order to have the best chance of them taking the important messages away. This session examines nine ways that any trainer can attract the attention of their audience and sustain that attention throughout their training sessions.

Key outcomes:

  • Discuss nine ways to attract and maintain the attention of the audience
  • Identify the key factors that lead to student distraction
  • Use involvement and interaction to promote greater audience attention, and plan for more engaging learning experiences

Session 2: How to Make Training that Sticks

Designers, developers and facilitators can apply practical, easy-to-use strategies to increase on-the-job application. This energetic workshop provides the latest research on learning design practices related to learning transfer – what works and what doesn’t. Attendees will learn specific research-tested techniques that they can begin using immediately, with any training topic, to increase transfer to the job. This webinar will share best practices and lessons learned about how to make training stick and how transfer can be enhanced in the courses you design, develop, and facilitate.

Key outcomes:

  • Identify how to create learning “stickiness”
  • Understand key research that explains why training sticks (or doesn’t)
  • Examine specific tools and techniques that can be used to support effective learning transfer
  • Identify activities and games that help to promote reinforcement

Session 3: How to Manage Difficult Behaviours

Every teacher/trainer encounters difficult behaviours and situations in their career. The behaviour of a few can have an enormous impact on the whole and as a result can critically injure the success of your programs. But wouldn’t it be great to have a first aid kit of items to get your sessions out of intensive care!  This session will discuss proven strategies aimed at minimising difficult behaviours and will model winning techniques that will help any trainer to create a positive and exciting program for their learners.

Key outcomes:

  • Discuss proven strategies for minimising difficult behaviours within training
  • Apply 15 specific techniques to minimising difficult behaviours
  • Model effective techniques to support better learning outcomes
  • Build a positive environment for all learners
