Features: Only well-executed training is effective, so training methods are as important as training content. This book collects concise, classroom-tested rules on training, making your training content clearer and more engaging. It helps you attract and maintain the audience's attention, makes the training content clearer, and enables learners to deeply recognize the importance of learning. "Motivate Your Learners" includes the best creative ideas from the "Creative Training Techniques Newsletter" over the past six years, ideas that make your presentations engaging and easy to understand, and enable your learners to benefit the most. The book is divided into two parts. Part 1, Presentation Techniques, focuses on how to "season" your presentation—improving the course content while enhancing its "listenability." These techniques include games, methods for highlighting key points, and simple ways to convey information more meaningfully, and so on. The second part, Techniques for Motivating Learners, focuses on methods used by trainers to encourage learners to take initiative in their own learning and to apply what they have learned to their work.
