Synopsis

Don't Be Dull! There is no boring content, only boring presenters! The perception of boring content, especially in technical training, is a result of presenters not sharing with their learners what is in it for them and then choosing a dull and dry format with which to present the information. Once you have shown your learners how their lives, jobs, work performance, environment or safety can be better through the implementation of your training, use these activities to help learners assimilate the information in a fun and engaging way so they can remember the information and use it on the job! This book is filled with more than 50 activities for technical trainers to help you: Open your training session with impact and purpose, Close it with celebration and action planning, Revisit content in fun and rejuvenating ways , and Energize your learners so they are excited and ready to learn more! The activities are specifically designed for those who do technical training, especially in face-to-face settings. These activities have been tested and proven successful in training classes for over 20 years by Bob Pike Group trainers. So, what are you waiting for? Get this title now and revolutionize your technical training!

About this title

About the Author

With more than 15 years as a training professional and two training industry best-selling books on the market, Becky Pluth, The Bob Pike Group s president and CEO, doesn't rest on her laurels. Continuing education, whether formal or informal, is critical for those of us in education, Becky has said, and, for many of us in this industry, I think the desire and passion for learning comes naturally. As proof of her desire to continuously strive for great, Becky was named one of Training magazine's Top 40 under 40 in 2012. Becky has more than 17 years of exposure to Bob Pike s Creative Training Techniques (CTT) and vast experience in cross-functional training design and delivery, project management and business operations. She easily employs a participant-centered approach to classroom training, one-on-one training and blended e-learning. Becky also infused CTT into all of her design and development while working as a corporate trainer for Target Corporation and overseeing the training department at Event Think, a multi-million dollar event management and communications company. Rich Meiss has been a participant-centered trainer with Bob Pike and other leading Train-the-Trainer organizations for more than 25 years. Some of his favorite a-ha! moments have occurred during technical training with organizations such as the United States Marine Corps, the United States Air Force and individual National Guard units. "Seeing technical trainers' eyes light up when they discover that there is another way to train besides lecture and PowerPoint is always a delight," he shared. "I love it even more when they write to me after a workshop and tell me the techniques they have incorporated and how they are working for them." Rich has held executive positions with Personal Dynamics Institute, Carlson Learning Company (Inscape Publishing), and The Bob Pike Group. He has designed and taught numerous workshops to more than 65,000 trainers and leaders worldwide. His personal approach causes audiences to warm to him instantly most of his work is with repeat clients who continue to ask specifically for him.
