The Tact of Training
5 simple steps to 100% success everytime
There is a method to teaching the madness of technical subjects effectively. This is especially useful for anyone setting up such sessions. Looking at you L&D and HR folks :)
Here’s the exact recipe for a successful training:
Discovery
Anticipation
Curation
Delivery
Assessment
Here is a short explanation:
Discovery is finding out the exact gap between what people know and what they need to know. Simply asking them up front is good enough in most cases. They know their struggles best. Sometimes you may need an expert to check.
We get to know what kind of hunger they have, or need to have. Be curious.
Anticipation means firing up their curiosity. This can start well before the actual training too. The hungrier they get, the more they will absorb from the training. An interesting side effect is that they will all start going in one direction. Get creative.
Curation of topics, exercises and flow is now easy and very clear. This is like preparing the exact food for what taste and hunger you discovered earlier. This is where the fine-tuning happens. An expert eye can fill in any gaps and take this in the right direction. Be precise.
Delivery needs to be in a way that builds from fundamentals to more specialized topics. This levels the playing field and ensures everyone is taken along. This is the live feedback session. When learning new things makes life easier, it’s always fun, isn’t it? Have fun.
Assessment helps you check for retention. Get tricky.
The best thing about following this method is that you will know it’s worked when you see immediate and widespread application of the knowledge!
If this helped you, forward it to one business owner you know. That’s how we grow.
