About This Product

Instructor, trainer, and facilitator have the same major goal: to transfer knowledge, skills, and/or new attitudes to each participant in their session. This leaders' guide will teach you the techniques for successful instruction and set you on the path towards establishing your own “trainer identity.” You will learn to identify the characteristics of the learner/facilitator relationship, utilize methods to remove communication barriers, apply skills to improve training, plan ways to involve groups in the learning process and deal with the dynamics of a group. Lastly, you will learn to define and use specific methods for dealing with conflict and the change process.

Obtain the highest quality management skills quickly and cost effectively. Every leaders' guide has been designed, developed, and written with adult learning theory and information mapping considerations. Engaging and lively content combines an optimal mix of case studies, charts, tips, and guidelines. Also included are our pre- and post-program assessments, which are highly effective tools for guiding the learning process and providing critical evaluation. Each content page has opposing pages for notes and each leaders' guide may also be used by a facilitator or as a self-study guide for self-paced learning.
