What drives you to be a Trainer or Facilitator? Highly likely it’s because you want to impart knowledge and assist people in their personal and professional growth - or perhaps like me, you really love to see that moment of illumination when you know they have just 'got it'.
Have you ever asked; How do I deal with difficult participants? How do I design a workshop? My boss wants me to give a presentation – now what? How do I put a training plan together? How do I evaluate a workshop or course? What activities can I use to get my point across? How do I meet the national standards or sometimes you may find that the workshop or presentation goal was not quite achieved - and you are not sure why. Maybe you just want to sharpen your skills and learn the latest tips without spending a fortune in time and money on attending a course. Having quick and easy access to an impartial and empathic person to gain advice and guidance from, may be just the thing you need.
Our goal for you is to reduce the likelihood that you fall into common training and facilitation traps – you know the ones - the sort that brings that dreaded heat and telltale colour to our necks as we start to sweat that it might all go wrong. You need to have confidence in the design and delivery of your course’s content, so as to ensure the required outcomes will be met.
TDi Consultancy provides this service to you because we have the real-life training experience – over 20 years across a wide variety of industry and professions. You too have no doubt worked hard to get where you are today and learned much along the way, so what approach would suit you better? A single day or a week of train-the-trainer training that is designed for a classroom full of people, each with differing levels of experience and needs? Or, a personally tailored perspective of sound training and facilitation advice that TDi Consultancy can provide you with? Whether you're working alone, or in a team of trainers, whether you are experienced or just beginning, an unbiased and friendly insight can make a significant difference for you.
