Speaking Opportunity

When delivering training, have you ever

• Delivered training that even you would sleep through?
• Asked questions during training only to receive confidence-crushing silence?
• Wondered why participants are constantly distracted, disinterested, and disengaged?

If the answer is yes, you are not alone. A survey of more than 1,500 training professionals revealed the #1 problem trainers experience on the job is a massive lack of participant engagement. When participants are not engaged, it sets off an insidious cycle of disastrous outcomes. Trainers begin to overuse lectures, creating an endless series of “monologues with hostages.” Participants start multitasking resulting in a lack of attention and retention. And training teams lose credibility and influence with their stakeholders. How do we overcome these all-too-common challenges? It’s simple. Stop training, start facilitating.
