Many of you will have experienced a training session which has left you feeling unenthused. And if you are like today’s guest host you might have even had a facilitator start the training by saying “this is going to be a really dull day/session”.
At Training 4 Influence we have high expectations for training, because we have seen first-hand how impactful sessions can be when delegates are truly engaged in what they are learning. And this is not by accident, in order for us to keep delegates fully engaged we are intentional in adapting our sessions with different learning styles in mind. That’s why we use theories such as VAK learning styles, and multiple intelligences in order to do so.
Some of you might already know these theories but if not, don’t be daunted. In our book and Train the Trainer programme, we introduce you to learning styles in enough detail to adapt your sessions, but not so much that you become overwhelmed. Once you understand learning styles it will become easy for you to incorporate them into your own training.
And this is important because it is by meeting the needs of all delegates that we create an opportunity to accelerate learning.
In this episode I talk to Angie Norden about the importance of developing engaging training. We discuss our frustrations with training in the past, her favourite learning theories and ultimately how developing engaging training can change your delegates’ experiences and give you reviews such as:
“I was amazed at how interactive it was and we could all still get involved and enjoy the session”
I hope you enjoy!
In series 2 of the Training 4 Influence Podcast. Our aim is to help you deliver the best training possible. We’ll be exploring how to make the most of every single second of a training session. And how to deliver training so that it has added influence. You’ll be hearing from me, Tammy Banks, the founder of the Training 4 Influence methodology. And I’ll be chatting with Training 4 Influence graduates, facilitators and experts who can speak to each of the steps: expert, engaging, tailored and values led.
