Train the Trainers

Two days that turn internal experts into facilitators of learning, because knowledge transfers easily and behaviour does not.

The business challenge

Why organizations ask for this

Internal subject-matter experts are asked to train and default to presenting what they know. The room learns what the expert knows and changes nothing about what it does.

How the programme actually runs

2 days in-room + development plan · Face-to-face · practice and feedback after every round · RO / EN

01 · The trainer role and the learning process

The role of an internal trainer; the difference between delivering information and facilitating learning; managing your own barriers before standing in front of a group.

02 · Delivery and facilitation skills

Gagné's nine events of instruction, demonstrated live by the trainer using this very programme; structuring a training session; practice structuring a technical topic; receiving feedback on the structure.

03 · Connecting authentically with the audience

Building rapport; emotional connection with the audience; handling questions; handling challenges and barriers raised by participants.

04 · Creating and delivering a session

Interactive delivery techniques; storytelling to introduce a technical concept; facilitation techniques: questions, debrief, examples, case studies, world café, role-play, call-out, humour; verbal and non-verbal communication.

STOP / START / CONTINUE group feedback, and the SBI (Situation, Behaviour, Impact) technique applied after every micro-presentation.
