Train the Trainer

Train the Trainer

You are an expert in your field and are often asked to facilitate classes and workshops on your area of expertise. But that is where it gets tricky. Facilitating workshops is not your day-job and you aren’t fully comfortable coaching others on the topic. You need dynamic facilitator skills to be effective agents of change in an organization. Exec-Comm trains you to increase your overall professionalism and instructor effectiveness.

Challenge & Solution

Becoming a strong effective facilitator takes time, practice and skill. Trainers, both new and experienced, need to get results in the classroom and engage participants. You have limited time to impact others and build a trusting environment where participants thrive and learn. You need to encourage participants to try out new skills and continue to sustain the learning outside of the classroom. Effective facilitators are one of the key ingredients to developing talent for your future leaders. Exec-Comm’s facilitator skills program will train your trainers to share their expertise with others.

After participating in this program, you will:

• Present a credible professional manner in a classroom setting
• Prepare and present issues with clarity and impact
• Direct participants effectively through drills and exercises
• Facilitate and encourage questions and answers
• Encourage discussion and healthy debate
• Coach participants to improve learning

Interactive Learning

You will acquire skills through video recording, group exercises, practicing lesson plans, and instructor coaching. A typical half-hour includes 10 minutes of instructor briefing and 20 minutes of practice and skill building.
