I do a fair amount of corporate training for clients that want to develop and sustain high output organizations. My training partner is a clinical psychologist and the workshops we conduct cover both the behavioral science behind the subjects we teach and the practical business examples that relate to them: this approach gives participants the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ needed to produce each program’s desired changes. We’ve found that professionals and leaders learn best when the materials are presented with authenticity and passion: this format is often referred to as ‘entertainment with a message’. Stories are a powerful way to convey information and this presentation style mimics the way we talk to one another in everyday life: the messages are full of the color and commentary that make them meaningful and memorable. Learn to teach, mentor and coach your team effectively by including stories that punctuate the information you wish to convey. That’s the best way to help others learn something new today.
