In training, there is a fundamental truth: "telling is not learning." Merely delivering a lecture or presentation doesn't guarantee comprehension, retention, or actionable insights among learners. That's why psychologists specializing in learning decode the complexities of human learning, focusing on how to ensure that knowledge sticks in people's minds and hearts, enhancing comprehension, memory, and motivation.
Over time, we've received numerous requests from corporations to train internal trainers responsible for delivering technical or knowledge-based training. Often, these internal trainers are subject matter experts but lack expertise in learning psychology, facilitation techniques, and group engagement skills, whether in face-to-face or online settings.
In the past two weeks, we had the privilege of supporting a diverse group of finance professionals from Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, and Singapore through FOUR bite-sized learning sessions, each lasting two hours with small class size of 8. These sessions were designed to equip them with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to become more effective trainers.
By striking a balance between knowledge dissemination and hands-on skills practice, coupled with constructive feedback, we are delighted to see the internal trainers leaving the program with beaming smiles, newfound confidence, and a rich toolkit to transfer their expertise to learners in a compelling and engaging manner.
