In every organization there is the daily need to train and support our colleagues and teams. But giving a speech is very different than training people effectively. In this new workshop, hosted in partnership with Toastmasters International, nonprofit leaders will acquire new skills in assessing real-time learning needs & expectations, engaging and supporting effective learning environments, working with adult learners and designing and delivering training opportunities that foster behavioral change.Â
Topics will include:
How to balance content delivery and interactivity to support learning.
How to use case studies, role playing, demonstrations, visual aids and Q&A.
How to foster and promote active engagement in the learning environment.
How to support effectively the lasting change we hope to see.
This workshop has been designed by Toastmasters International and comes with a workbook for each participant. Â
