Games Speakers and Trainers Play
Ed Scannell

Description

“Learning can be fun!”
“Learning is NOT a spectator sport!”

These two basic precepts are the underlying reasons why speakers and trainers should become more proficient in experiential learning. In this fun, fast-paced workshop, you’ll learn dozens of tips, tools and techniques to enhance your next training program or presentation. Designed primarily for trainers, speakers and facilitators, you’ll learn techniques for climate-setting, get-acquainted activities, energizers and other participative tools to make your next program that much more effective.

Content - Key Points

After a quick review of some basic laws of adult learning, we’ll identify a “learning organization” and how easily you can develop one in your own organization. With that foundation, we’ll be addressing several ways to “set the stage” and show the importance of climate setting. In addition, you’ll experience numerous “getting acquainted” activities and other tools for audience involvement.

1. Four basic laws of adult learning
