Who is this course for?

If you need to:

• enable colleagues or staff to improve their performance and develop their skill-sets
• deliver change and improvement while still coming across with confidence and conviction
• develop your own CV or career as a leader, coach or mentor with two recognised certifications
  (ILM and CPD certification).

What will I learn?

In this 2 day programme you will have the chance to explore the complete range of skills to become an exceptional trainer.
Such as:
5 key steps for you to develop successful results every time:
A Purpose for the training
Outcomes so that you can measure what you have achieved
Content organised in a way that supports learning
Delivery that keeps the students engaged
Feedback so that you too can keep learning and improving.



More specific outcomes from this training include:
- develop a clear, flexible delivery style that fully engages the students in the room
- identify the keys to keeping your delivery manner lively and varied
- formulate a robust course outline that remains flexible and adaptable
- build a training structure focused around 'why' rather than' on what'
- define the characteristics of your 'ideal student'
- adapt your training style to encourage that 'ideal student'
- gauge the correct pace of training for each group of students
- establish a learning environment that supports the training aims
- consider different basic room layouts
- identify different learning styles
- employ storytelling to bring training into ‘their’ real world
- create activities and scenarios that match 'real life' as accurately as possible
- construct clear and measurable outcomes by using 'Why', 'What' and 'How'
- create learning outcomes that are practical and relevant to the workplace.

In business and in organizations of all types, we recognize that effective training improves performance and motivation.

And as someone with responsibility for training, you have an incredible opportunity to positively influence other members of staff.

Imagine the effect on communication, atmosphere and morale, productivity your staff had the understanding to do their jobs perhaps just 5% better.

In pure hard numbers, what would that kind of impact be worth?

Well, let's be conservative about it!

Even if you have just THREE members of staff delivering a very modest £30,000 of value to your organisation per year each...

...getting another 5% out of them alone would equate to at least £4,500 of value per year, every year, wouldn't it?

And if you're able to touch 10 staff like that?

£15,000.

Invest in yourself and you invest in others

How this course will benefit me?

We will teach you how to break down the potentially complicated into components that are simple and manageable. 
Therefore in this programme we aim to 'walk our talk' and so we have built the 5 steps to exceptional training around three key questions, three key components and three key themes and below is a small sampling of what you'll discover on this highly interactive workshop as you master your own unique blend of the three core components essential to every training or coaching session:

Part 1: 'You' - The Trainer
Training can only ever be as good as the trainer who delivers it. You'll discover how to choose the right learning style for any training situation and deliver a confident, compelling performance, every time.

1. How to blend the 3 elements that must intersect to create Ideal Communication and achieve the trainer's ultimate goal: 'Planned Spontaneity'
2. How to use your voice, its Pitch, Pace, Power and Pause to make an impact
3. How to use your body - stance, hands and voice, and gestures - both to relate to others, and assert yourself, and when to use each style 
4. How to use your eyes to create connection, confidence and build genuine trust
5. How to establish the qualities of an ideal trainer (hint: their relationship to the qualities of an ideal student may surprise you!)
6. How coaching and training are defined - and when to use each of them
7. How to apply 4 key learning concepts: 'child learning', 'adult learning', Single loop v double-loop learning

Part 2: 'Them' - The Students
Exceptional trainers are continuously focused on the unique needs of every 'class' they work with, speak to their needs, and develop an easy rapport that facilitates learning and results in top approval ratings - and so will you. You'll discover:

1. The 3 essential ingredients for a successful workshop or training session: Learning Environment, Learning Readiness, Participation
2. What to say in the critical first 90 seconds of any training workshop so that attendees trust you and become fully engaged. We'll develop this essential content with you, live during the workshop, so you can take it away and use it immediately
3. How to map out why students need your workshop to make any training brief compelling
4. The 3 critical - but often hidden questions ALL students have at the outset of any training - and how you must answer them
5. The one universal exercise format that you can use anywhere and instantly increase engagement, confidence and interaction in your students
6. How to use story techniques to make your points powerful and highly memorable
7. How to identify and cater to different personality types so your training appeals to students across the board

Part 3: 'It' - The Training
Creating effective, impactful training is equal parts art and science. You'll discover:

1. The 5 stage model for creating effective training: Purpose, Outcomes, Content, Delivery, Feedback
2. How to create effective Purpose Statements and Learning Outcomes - including the 'Implement, Improve, Innovate' model for understanding and choosing learning objectives
3. How to apply and adapt any of 10 key activity and delivery options to support the key outcomes of your training.
4. How to use words, pictures and metaphors for impact - including one simple technique to create powerful metaphors out of any point
5. What every trainer should have in their workshop 'toolkit'
6. The Rules of Feedback - including the 'Sprinkler Rule'
7. How to create an effective workshop feedback form - and the mistakes to avoid that can dangerously distort your feedback

Plus: Training Techniques, Exercises, Models, Templates... You'll also leave with a 27-page manual of essential training advice, templates, exercises, models, diagrams, further reading and additional resources, including:

1. Lesson Plan template
2. Feedback Form template
3. The 3 levels of listening: Competitive, Attentive, Active
4. 3 ways to become a better listener
5. A comprehensive chart for creating Learning Outcomes
6. The 4 fundamental types of question
