From the Author:

People Strategies for Trainers provides dozens of tips and strategies for dealing with difficult or challenging participants. Trainers and educators will learn how to help all learners maximize their potential by understanding societal issues and putting important training theory into practice. From poor listeners and show-offs, to people with disabilities or those who speak English as a second language, this practical handbook shows trainers how to take control of the learning environment and achieve incredible results for all participants.

From the Back Cover:

Whether you've taught one class or thousands, you already know that all learners are not created equal. Are you able to create a learning environment where every participant is getting maximum value, or are you letting different styles, attitudes, and circumstances affect your sessions?
People Strategies for Trainers is packed with practical techniques to help you reconcile a variety of issues, such as dealing with participants from different generations, those with different abilities, and those who speak an alternate native language. Of course, there are also the "problem" participants. You're already too familiar with these types: talkers; poor listeners; show offs; class clowns; experts; agitators and revolutionaries; latecomers; and unprepared learners.
This valuable resource also gives easy-to-use tools for creating your training materials; creative strategies for grouping learners and selecting volunteers; and a variety of interactive room arrangements to help foster group learning. Plus you'll get a concise and applicable overview of Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory of Motivation as it applies to adult learning, which will help you better understand what drives your participants to learn. A powerful combination of the latest thinking and real-world solutions, People Strategies for Trainers will help you build a learning environment in which all of your participants can realize their full potential.
