Tried and true techniques for bringing training into the 21st century
Sign up now for the August 30th luncheon!

A big obstacle to effective training is learner apathy in the classroom. As trainers, we need to stay relevant in today’s tough market and take responsibility for moving participants from ho-hum observers to engaged and passionate learners.

But how?

One way is to conduct training sessions as if they are “orderly conversations.” An orderly conversation is one that is (a) carefully organized, well-designed and documented and (b) flexibly executed with lively participation and input from the entire group. When trainers and facilitators engage learners in this fashion, learners are more likely to invest in the learning outcome and apply what they’ve learned back on the job.

In this session Greg Owen-Boger, VP and Trainer at Turpin Communication, will discuss the theory behind the “orderly conversation” and offer insights and skills for engaging learners in the process. This will include cleaning out the old training toolbox to get rid of rusty rules, gimmicks and anything else that simply doesn’t work.
