SPECIAL EVENT: The Creative Trainer: Strategies to Make Your Learning Events Sizzle

The human mind is capable of fantastic things. Once new material or skills are learned and the mind is changed, it never goes back to its original shape. The challenge for trainers is to create an environment and deliver information that taps into the full potential of a learner’s brain. This can be done through novelty, change, and many other concepts that brain-based researchers have found enhances the ability to acquire, retain and recall information.

In this program, participants will explore many ideas, concepts and techniques that can be used to enhance virtually any training program or presentation topic. A modified “behavioral modeling” approach will be used to help accomplish this. In using this technique, the facilitator will introduce a concept or technique, demonstrate it, and then discuss the methodology behind it with participants.

This interactive session will allow attendees to explore their creativity and think outside the box related to obtaining and using a variety of props, items, strategies and techniques to enhance learning and add pizzazz to their sessions. During the program, participants will experience a variety of techniques grabbing and holding participants' attention, verifying that that learning is occurring and gaining participant feedback during a session. Additionally, the facilitator will focus on and demonstrate creative methods for using training aids and props to facilitate adult learning.

This workshop will:
 Apply creative concepts experienced to enhance any learning environment.
