Summary:
Few
people choose training and development while they are still
in school, and yet there are talented and knowledgeable
trainers working in every industry. Some individuals become
trainers because they are passionate about sharing their
knowledge and about helping people. Others become trainers
because their employer asks them to get involved in
mentoring, training, or coaching new or existing employees.
Trainers also get started when they want to make some
changes to their daily activities, but wish to continue
contributing to a particular organization or industry.
If you
are thinking about becoming a trainer, or have started doing
some training already and want to know more about what will
help you to become an excellent trainer, this workshop will
help. This one-day workshop is designed as an exploration of
the essential skills that trainers need to develop, and to
get you started in the learning process in an interactive
and fun environment.
What
Makes a Good Trainer?
To
start the day, we will discuss some key background material,
including principles of adult learning and what the word
"trainer" means.
Personal Best, Professional Best
Next,
participants will learn how to create a professional image.
Being
Genuine
During
this session, participants will explore what being genuine
means.
Assertiveness Skills
Participants will explore the differences between passive,
aggressive, manipulative, and assertive behavior. They will
also consider why assertive behavior is important for a
trainer.
Asking
the Right Questions
This
session will focus on open questions, closed questions, and
probing. Participants will also have an opportunity to
practice these skills in an exercise.
Listening
Participants will identify their listening strengths and
weaknesses through a quick quiz. We will also discuss some
ways that participants can improve their listening skills.
Connecting With People
During
this session, we will look at ways to build rapport and how
to use facilitative training. Participants will then
evaluate themselves to see what skills they need to build in
these areas.
Defusing Difficult Participants
Next,
we will look at some potential problem situations and ways
to defuse them before they start.
Essentials for Success
We
will ask participants to complete a checklist of what
attributes they feel makes a good trainer. This will also
help participants identify areas for further training.
Do's
and Don'ts for New Trainers
To
wrap up the learning points, participants will discuss a
checklist of do's and don'ts.
Workshop Wrap-Up
At the
end of the day, students will have an opportunity to ask
questions, complete an action plan, and talk with the
trainer.

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!
