Crafting Workshops with Impact: Maximising Relevance for Your Learners
Course
Turn your default training delivery into a compulsory ‘must experience’ for learners
Is there a risk that your current training routine has lost its impact?
There is nothing worse than being asked by the Training Department to deliver some dry, compulsory theory topic that your audience has all heard before and all know the answers to, because they have all... ‘done this one before’.
Their body language says it all: ‘Not again...I dare you to get me interested…What time is lunch?’
Learn the Secret of the training W.I.I.F.M. and join Laurie Kelly from Brain Friendly Training to turn your default training delivery into a compulsory ‘must experience’ for learners.
Learners want to see relevance for them in what you are training.
Elevate your workshop design skills and ensure that your training sessions are not just boxes to be checked but transformative experiences. Join our webinar, "Ensure Your Workshops are 100% Relevant to Your Learners," and master the art of formulating the W.I.I.F.M. (What's In It For theM ) in your design.
