Summary:
Behind
every spectacular training session is a lot of preparation
and meticulous attention to detail. The truly skilled
trainer can make a program exciting. The learners will have
fun while they are learning if the facilitator is able to
involve their emotions as well as their minds. You will see
the involvement, and you will feel the energy.
To
reach this stage as an adult educator isn't always easy, but
success isn't just for the naturally gifted. It is possible
for all of us who put effort into our personal growth and
development. We want the enormous satisfaction that comes
from working with others to help them reach their potential
as human beings. This three-day workshop will help you reach
that goal.
This
workshop requires that you have a good understanding of
basic training principles, including adult learning
concepts, experiential learning cycle, training methods, and
designing a learning sequence. We strongly recommend
completing The Practical Trainer workshop before
taking this course.

We hired Rick to provide two completely different
presentations to our sales force and our customer service
teams. Both events were lively, dynamic and exciting. We
loved how he combined stage magic with his unique insights
in both of these specialties. We were all very impressed
with his highly creative programs. We loved his passion and
enthusiasm as a business speaker. Still trying to figure out
how he knew where we hid his paycheck. Totally impossible.
More impressive than when Kreskin did that!
