I have been training individuals, groups and organizations for many years on a variety of topics. As with anything I do, participants in my training sessions are ACTIVE and engaged in the process, thereby making learning more efficient, more immediate, and more fun. I’m very aware that people need to hear, see, read, practice and teach what they have learned in order to maximize the benefits from the training, and that’s where I differ from many other trainers. If participants aren’t engaged in ALL five of these activities, you can be sure they will forget much of what they learn within a very short time frame.
I have created many innovative resources and programs over the years and I have presented on these at conferences all over Canada and in the United States, training others on how to use them. I have also taken existing resources and modified them for different uses and have shared those in workshops, webinars and training settings as well.
