Training others is a high level communication skill.

The job of the trainer is to help the learners achieve the three levels of learning.

Three levels of learning - As a trainer you have to be successful in all three areas. You need to make your message:

1. Relevant – relevance gives the team motivation to pay attention
2. Memorable- memorable makes the message stick in the mind
3. Understandable- makes the material usable

How to make your message understandable:

1. Structure your message like a tree
2. Define all your key terms
3. Make the links between ideas obvious

How to make your presentations interesting

1. Illustrate each key point with examples – give concrete examples from real life
2. Involve your audience – If you don’t involve them they will drift off
3. Give the audience things to do to work the material

How to make your presentation relevant

1. Link the information to your listener's context
2. Answer their question - so what?

Three trainer skills:

1. Verbal clarity - specific notes and examples- Your language is crucial to your success.
2. Logical structure - order your material- Your training material needs to be sorted into sets.
3. Proper pacing - adjust the style: slow down and give sufficient time for your message to be assimilated. Pacing must be perfect.

The Magnificent Seven Training Techniques

1. Preview and review: Let people know the structure before they get into the details.

2. Mental association: Memory is often the art of associating what you need to remember to what you already know.

3. Visual support: Most people are visual animals and need to “see it” to “understand it”.

4. Physical involvement: Some people are active learners and need to get to grips with it, in order to understand it.

5. Chunking-down: Everything can be seen as an elaboration of a simpler form. Sometimes it is useful to show the simpler form before you show them the elaboration.

6. Summing-up: Periodically sum up what you have covered so far.

7. Repetition: They must hear it more than once. Repetition is the mother of learning.

Distinguish between Understanding v memory v application:

They need to take all three steps. They must understand and learn and use your material.

Understanding - The act of grasping the meaning

Learn - Storing desired information in the memory

Application - Using the new information in 'real life'
