Course Outline / Curriculum

You will spend the first part of the day getting to know participants and discussing what will take place during the workshop. Students will also have an opportunity to identify their personal learning objectives.

  • What Makes a Good Trainer?
    • To start the day, we will discuss some key background ideas, including principles of adult learning and what the word "trainer" means.
  • Projecting the Right Image
    • Next, participants will learn how to make the a good, lasting first impression and how to maintain that impression.
  • Being Genuine
    • During this session, participants will explore what being genuine means in a large group discussion.
  • Acting Assertively vs. Aggressively
    • Participants will explore the differences between passive, aggressive, and assertive behavior, and why assertive behavior is important for a trainer.
  • Asking the Right Questions to get the Right Answers
    • This session will focus on open questions, closed questions, and the communication funnel. Participants will also have an opportunity to practice these skills in an exercise.

  • Presentation Skills
