Course description
Facilitation Training for Experienced Trainers
Techniques to refresh your skills for maximum learner engagement
Expectations of employee training and adult learning have changed a lot in recent years. As a result, what used to work may not work as well (or at all) anymore. Even experienced trainers need to take a step back to examine old habits and beliefs about adult learning and hone their facilitation skills to maximize learner engagement.
This mastery-level interactive workshop polishes the skills necessary to facilitate adult learning. While working on their real-life training content, participants are asked to examine their training habits and assumptions. Work focuses on gaining self-awareness and taking skills to the next level. This includes presenting content, being efficient in the training room, facilitating group discussion, setting up and debriefing exercises, and providing productive learner feedback.
Throughout the class, participants apply the principles of The Orderly Conversation® to their own real-life training content.
Facilitation Training for Experienced Trainers includes access to eCoach – our program for pre-work and post-workshop performance support. Participants receive reusable job aids and reference materials to help participants apply what they learn in class to situations they face outside of it. All attendees receive a copy of The Orderly Conversation: Business Presentations Redefined.
All Turpin Workshops are highly customized to your organization’s and employees’ specific goals and challenges and can be delivered virtually or on-site.
