Take a close look at what s working and what isn t. Of course, you want your learners to get what they came for and go away happy. To do that you must provide plenty of options. The more ways you can provide for them to learn, the more opportunity for their learning success and, of course, your success as a workshop leader. Sometimes a facilitator will have wonderful information to present, but be unaware of the different ways in which people learn.
Some people learn best by listening, some by seeing and some by experiencing.
Providing many opportunities to do all three gives everyone an excellent chance of reaching the goals of the workshop. Creating a workshop that takes into consideration the different ways people learn best is absolutely necessary to its highest success. I ve done the research, taken the trainings, participated in the workshops and created successful workshops myself. I know how much work it can be to put something together from scratch. My goal in writing, How to Create and Present a Successful Workshop is to provide a source of solid, proven information and step by step guidance to anyone desiring to teach what they know to others.
