  Training in Action - How to be an amazing trainer
 

By Syd Strike

Train the TrainerDo you want to be an amazing trainer?

If you are a trainer I am sure you don’t want to be a poor trainer or even mediocre. Of course, if you are honest with yourself you will want to be the best. Why not?

Get started by understanding your role. Why do we train? The answer is Changed Behaviour.

Training may be many things to many people but when it’s all over, if back in the workplace people don’t put the learning into practice ... the training has failed. We need changed behaviour.

Training is about providing skills and knowledge that is applied in the workplace.

Once you know what changed behaviour is required you can be designing and delivering an amazing training course or programme. You can be an amazing trainer.

Quote of the Month – Play

“It is play that makes people unafraid to fail and confident to try new things. It is play that helps us do serious things better because we enjoy them and feel a sense of joy in our achievements.”

Jake Orlowitz
Head of Wikipedia Blueprint

 

The Light Touch

A true story by Syd

I was delivering train the trainer skills to a group over three days.

During the first two days I emphasised the importance of preparation and checking equipment before the group arrive.

On day three my group arrived early and after initial greetings I followed my usual habit of lifting the flip chart stand to move it where I wanted it to begin my training. No sooner had I lifted the stand, all three legs fell off and crashed to the floor to the delight of my mischievous group.

A lesson learned. I think!!

This wasn’t the first prank this group had played on me!
