Creating Training Miracles
For Trainers, Instructors, Facilitators, Course Developers, and Subject Matter Experts
Training departments are beginning to realize that people do NOT learn effectively by passively consuming information. It is a waste of training dollars and yields low return on investment.
Participants typically retain 5 -30 of information in average training programs. We show you how to increase retention up to 90 or more.
Our program gives you access to tools, strategies, and techniques orchestrated in a fashion that elevates learning to a new level of experience and efficacy. We show you how to optimize your training environment and training programs to achieve outstanding learning results.
"As a result of standardizing our training curriculum and putting the LDAs through your training program, which emphasized both design elements and excellence in delivery, we have experienced a 40 growth in our production over last year."
Gerry Heiple, Former VP, Foresters
The program focuses on practical, proven, leading-edge techniques and strategies that both new and experienced trainers can begin to use immediately with success.
You ll learn how to:
--Build "instant" rapport with participants and get buy-in from the beginning.
--Deliver content logically and simply in a brain-friendly fashion.
--Orchestrate the optimum environment for your training.
--Engage the audience in multi-faceted, ingenious ways to facilitate learning.
--Use and combine compelling audio & visual aids to utilize more senses.
--Reinforce learning relevance to the job, and nail down commitments.
--Choose creative and stimulating delivery formats for "dry" material.
--Facilitate partner and group activities applicable to learning objectives.
--Transfer information from short-term to long-term memory.
--Plan and design a seamless, multi-sensory training that will have lasting impact.
--Apply Accelerated Learning strategies for results-boosting, super-charged training.
