Interaction Associates

Even the most experienced trainers and workshop leaders sometimes doubt their abilities or feel they want to take their skills to the next level.

The Masterful Trainer™ is a two-day clinic that can help both midlevel and experienced instructors:

• Express ideas with more confidence
• Increase their personal effectiveness
• Enhance what they already do well

The workshop offers proven techniques for creating high-energy learning environments that engage participants and produce results.

The Masterful Trainer™ is conducted by training veterans who are experts at assessing participants' skill levels and moving them to the next level of growth. You'll see how fresh ideas, humor, and enthusiasm create a dynamic learning experience that brings out the best in both trainers and participants.

Experienced trainers responsible for training groups in a participative, facilitative manner will benefit from this workshop. This course is not applicable to strictly technical training or one-on-one training.

• Create training environments in which participants share responsibility for success

Benefits for the organization

Companies that offer employees personal and professional development opportunities enjoy a competitive advantage, and that advantage is strengthened when in-house trainers are as effective and engaging as they can be. By modeling continuous learning and improvement, trainers support and reinforce the culture of the "learning organization."

How participants learn

The majority of class time is devoted to practice, including individual coaching and feedback from workshop leaders. All workshop content focuses on real-life problems, so learning is immediately transferable back on the job.

Self-assessment, video simulations, group practice sessions, exploratory discussions, and feedback from workshop leaders and participants all work together to provide a varied and vital learning experience.
