Bio
Let’s face it. Adults have a shorter attention span than teenagers when it comes to lecture based training in a classroom setting. They have too much on their minds. Work priorities, family priorities, deadlines, etc. On top of that, the ability to get email, text messages and Facebook updates, while in a classroom, create the ultimate distraction.
So how can an organization justify paying for a lecture-based trainer? That trainer would need to do four things.
1. Teach sound principles that can be put into practice immediately.
2. Deliver the training in a manner that people understand quickly, identify as pertinent to them, and prompts them to take action.
3. Be entraining enough to get people’s attention quickly and compelling enough to keep it for the duration of the event.
4. Be memorable and even unforgettable.
Adults tend to prefer active learning where instructional experiences are related to their real-life situations (Mezirow, 1981). Retention of information for adult learners can be maximized through activity (Thomas, 1991).
Our Time 2 Lead program was built around this mission statement:
Tell me and I forget. Show me and I may remember. Involve me and I understand.
