May 25, 2015
It's all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you're properly trained. Queen Elizabeth II
Delivering training like an art to me. Every training session is like a movie-making.You set up the stage, put up the light, video and music, and play games and roleplay. The highest level of a trainer can make the audience able to apply the thingsthey learn the next day while making the training interesting and engaging.
I have been conducting soft skills and leadership training for the last 20 years.I have scored 96% in Net Promoting Score for my leadership management trainingin PayPal Asia. In most soft skills training, I have always gotten excellent feedback.Some of the stakeholders and directors complemented my ability to change theparticipants' behaviors of leading people after training.
My greatest compliments came from two managers from IBM and HP. They told methis was the first time for such a leadership training course after ten years ofattending management training in IBM and HP. They found my class is engaging,practical and interesting.
Below is my seven secrets of delivering a management training program.
1. 30% theory and 70% practical. Spend more time in role play, feedback, dramaand games to let them practice the new skills.
2. Apply Job Instruction Concept in TWI. State the Main Step, Key Points andReasons.

4. Participant-centric. Design the program from the participant perspective. Adultslove to share their experience, to learn from others and to practice what is beingtaught. Let the participants share their achievements, successes and good practicesin a group. Give them ample of time to practice, feedback and reflection.
5. Participants Engagement. Design activities to engage among the participants inthe whole training program.Breaking down the barriers of communication andinteraction. I have the participants to share what they have learned at the end ofthe course in a coffee house nearby, in the chilling winter outdoor.
6. Multisensory. Play videos illustrate the key learning points. Play music to vitalizethe environment while playing games, break time and group discussion.

7. Impart the skills they can use the next day. Explain the skills in a simplelanguage. Demonstrate the skills to the class. Tell them your own experience ofapplying the skills.
The objective of training delivering is to transfer skills, knowledge and behaviors to the participants. Do use new technologies, games, videos, stories and techniques to make an unforgotten experience to the participants.
