training

%%is a form ofcommunication

Hen e r*les that yo* a++ly for good omm*ni ation, a++lies to training too



-*alities of A .ood /rainer

#1 Who are youtraining?• .olden r*le of trainings%

• 0o* are identified as an e +ert%• ifeline of the training (3no4ing the ontent)%• 3no4ing the a*dien e forms the 5a k5one%• All the strategies that yo* devise to train de+end on yo*r *nderstanding of the a*dien e%

What you do…

Ask them to introd* e themselves es ri5e the reason 4hat motivates them to attend the training%

Bottom-line, if you don’t know the profile of the audience simply do not proceed.




#2 Humor adds LIFE toyour training• 3ee+s yo*r a*dien e a4ake

• A good 6oke ra ked at the right time re6*venates the 4hole environment%Though there are certain precautions to e taken on this humor dri!en communication "#ill pro a ly ha!e aseparate post for that su $ect%.

• /o in rease the retention +eriod of the to+i %&or example talking a out the est practices, rather than telling what’s wrong and what’s right can you pull a $oke of what will happen if something is lindly followed(

• Creating a +arody in the right 4ay too makes a +erson remem5er%

Bottom line Humor is important it has to e timely, healthy and rele!ant.




#3 Good Training is allabout Engagement/raining is an im+ortant a tivity 5*t getting trained is not so e iting% Why? 'e a*se most of thetimes it is +assive%

eo+le sit there listening to the trainer (Some even fall aslee+ 4ith eyes 4ide o+en, 8 don t kno4 e a tly ho4 that is done)%

So firstchange the rules Change the 4ay the training is done% Engage them in every se tion oftraining, ask them :*estions, ans4er there :*eries in different 4ays%

)ush them to think new things. ;aintain eye onta t <ehearse the 4hole +resentation A tively listen ;ove slides "se the 4hole area

Bottom line *ngagement is not a good to ha!e +uality it’s a compulsion.




#4 ho! them the "ealWorld/ry to ans4er this to*gh :*estion, 4hat is more interesting = 4at hing >ast and >*rio*s or*nderstanding a ne4 5*siness +ro ess that yo*r team has to om+ly to?

#4 ho! them the "ealWorldWell that 4as easy% /hat s 4hat ha++ens% 8f the a*dien e *nderstands the im+ortan e of thetraining and still is not a tive, the 5lame is on yo*% /ry to reate a *rassi ark@

erive ma im*m e am+les as +ossi5le% /ry to arti *late the on e+ts to 4hi h the a*dien esonne t% /ell stories, Create s enes, make relative analogies% /hat 4ay yo* make the ontent

easier to a5sor5%

Bottom line if you draw pictures in their minds you ensure that they retain content.




#% &s' the "ight (uestionAs trainers 4e are very m* h engrossed in ans4ering the :*estions%<esolving do*5ts% 8s that really re:*ired?

"nderstand this = 4hi h on e+t 4o*ld 5e retained more in the minds of the a*dien e, the one 4hi h yo* ans4er or the one they *nderstand? /hat s a tri ky :*estion of o*rse%

8 5elieve making the a*dien e derive an ans4er 5y themselves 4ill make them have a onne t 4ith it% >inally they have derived the ans4er%

Ho4 that is done? 8 tend to ross :*estion the one 4ho raises a do*5t% While ans4ering myross :*estions 8 lead the +erson to derive ans4er to his :*estion% /hat 4ay not only he

*nderstands the on e+t far 5etter, even 8 4in an image of an e +ert for myself (4hether 8 am ornot? that really doesn t matter)%

Bottom line, it’s not a out the right answer, it’s a out the right +uestion.




#) Finally*/here are a he k lot of more ti+s that are 5* ing aro*nd the internet, 5*t let s +*t it to the +art t4oof this training% Be t time 4hen 4e dis *ss this to+i 4e 4o*ld +ro5a5ly have ti+s as one liners andtry to om+ile as m* h relevant ti+s as +ossi5le%
