How can we make the most of our training opportunities? This month, I'd like to explain seven research-based principles to consider when you have the opportunity to teach, whether one-on-one or in a group setting.
With this first principle, I'm saying that effective training should include education. The entire learning process is facilitated when people realize up-front the potential benefits to be gained from their learning. Tell people what positive consequences they could gain and/or negative consequences they could avoid from a training program, and they will be more motivated to learn.
