The Practical Trainer
$240.00Part of knowing where you are going is defining what you are doing. Training can mean different things to different people: a trainee has needs, your supervisor has expectations, and as trainers, you have objectives. The assumption that anyone who can do a job can teach another person how to do it has led to countless errors in the instruction process. Many of us have been either a victim of or a witness to this misguided belief. Trainees are most engaged by a trainer who: Has some experience to share Has something of value to offer Can provide some real examples and give them some tips Lets participants talk and share their experiences with others Throughout this course, we take a closer look at how to approach teaching individuals with an affinity for any learning style. Whether a seasoned trainer or looking to get started this course is an excellent resource to complement your existing skillset or develop your own style for more effective training. -

Creative Thinking and Innovation
$250.00Creative thinking and innovation are vital components in both our personal and professional lives. However, many people feel as though they are lacking in creativity. What most of us do not recognize is that we are creative on a daily basis, whether it’s picking out what clothes to wear in the morning or stretching a tight budget at work. While these tasks may not normally be associated with creativity, there is a great deal of creativity involved to get those jobs done. While some people seem to be simply bursting with creativity, others find it a struggle to think outside the square.
