Using Activities to Make Training Fun
$199.00Most people have been at a party or some other social occasion where someone has told an inappropriate joke and ruined the mood (at least temporarily). Likewise, we’ve all been somewhere where the class clown is able to lighten the mood and help people have fun. The good news is that humor can help you make your training sessions just as engaging as those fun social occasions. Even better, you don’t need to be the class clown or an award-winning comedian to do it. This course will help you identify what kind of humor you can bring to the classroom, and how games can help you engage your participants. -
Measuring Training Results
$199.00There are lots of good reasons to offer training, and even more reasons to participate and take training. But there is also an accountability element, where we ask ourselves: - What was the value of that training? - Did we meet the objectives that were set out? - Did the training bring about some kind of lasting change in behavior? In this course, we’ll explore the essential elements in evaluating training and measuring results, while creating a process that is simple for trainers and human resource practitioners to implement. -
Making Training Stick
$199.00We have all participated in training courses or workshops. Some of these have been helpful and useful in our everyday lives and others have seemed redundant and a waste of time. How often have we cheered or grumbled at being asked to participate in a training day? The good news is that all training can be useful and applicable if the trainer keeps some simple tips in mind when developing and applying training. We all learn differently, but there are some truths about learning that can be applicable to most groups and can be tweaked to fit any training session. -
Developing Your Training Program
$199.00Training is an essential element of development in any organization. Being knowledgeable and continuing to learn throughout your career can make you a very valuable asset. We also know that training and orientation (or ‘onboarding’) for newly hired employees is a key factor in retention. In order for training to be valuable, the person that designs and plans the training must have an excellent understanding of what the training objectives are. In addition, if the trainer is able to research the strategic objectives of the company providing the training to their staff, what resources are available, and what elements of those plans can enhance the training experience, the entire experience is much more meaningful. At the same time, if a trainer is aware of any barriers that training could present (such as trainees being on call during a session, having to spread training over a long period of time, or trainees who are not accustomed to theory or classroom types of presentations), then the trainer can present a much stronger program that is tailored specifically to the participants’ needs. This course is designed for a trainer who wants to develop training programs that are meaningful, practical, and will benefit both trainees and the organizations they work for. -
Positive Attitudes in the Workplace
$299.00Attitude is everything! You may be the most skilled or competent person at work, but if you do not accompany your ability to do your job well with a positive attitude, your success will be limited. Your attitude is not only about “how you do your job” and how you choose to behave in all circumstances. It is how you convey yourself to others. Most employees with positive attitudes display several favourable behaviours in the work environment. They are resilient, resourceful, flexible, and open-minded. They radiate inviting energy that positively affects everyone and everything around them. If you can display to your employer, customers and colleagues a sense of positivity, you will quickly become someone they will want to deal with more. The purpose of this course is to equip you with knowledge, tools and practical strategies that will help you develop and maintain a positive attitude so that you can elevate both your professional and personal success. -
