WHO SHOULD ATTEND

  • Executives, Department Heads and Business Owners – to lead with influence and vision.
  • Project Managers and Team Leaders –
    Professionals leading cross-functional teams who
    need to develop strong communication, motivation,
    and leadership skills.
  • HR Professionals, Talent Development Leaders and Trainers – to develop leadership programs for employees.
  • Aspiring Leaders – to prepare for leadership roles.
METHODOLOGY
  • Quizzes. For long, complicated training, stop periodically to administer brief quizzes on information presented to that point. Begin sessions
    with a pre-quiz and let participants know there will also be a follow-up quiz. Trainees will stay engaged in order to improve their pre-quiz scores on the final quiz. Further this will motivate participants by
    offering awards to the highest scorers or the most improved scores.
  • Small group discussions. Break the participants down into small groups and give them case studies or work situations to discuss or solve. This is a good way for knowledgeable veteran employees to pass on their experience to newer employees.
  • Case studies. Adults tend to bring a problem- oriented way of thinking to workplace training. Case studies are an excellent way to capitalize
    on this type of adult learning. By analysing real job-related situations, employees can learn how
    to handle similar situations. They can also see how various elements of a job work together to create problems as well as solutions.
  • Active summaries. Create small groups and have them choose a leader. Ask them to summarize the lecture’s major points and have each team leader present the summaries to the class. Read
    aloud a prewritten summary and compare this with participants’ impressions.
  • Q & A sessions. Informal question-and-answer sessions are most effective with small groups and for updating skills rather than teaching new skills. For example, some changes in departmental
    procedure might easily be handled by a short explanation by the supervisor, followed by a question-and-answer period and a discussion period.
  • Question cards. During the lecture, ask participants to write questions on the subject matter. Collect them and conduct a quiz/review session.
  • Role-playing. By assuming roles and acting out situations that might occur in the workplace, employees learn how to handle various situations before they face them on the job. Role-playing
    is an excellent training technique for
    many interpersonal skills, such as customer service, interviewing, and supervising.
  • Participant control. Create a subject menu of what will be covered. Ask participants to review it and pick items they want to know more about.
    Call on a participant to identify his or her choice. Cover that topic and move on to the next participant.
  • Demonstrations. Demonstrate the steps being taught or the processes being adopted.
  • Other activities.
    o Create a personal action plan
    o Paraphrase important or complex points in the lecture
