MYSTIX add some fun to training and team building sessions.
Training and team building sessions, whilst different, are all about bringing people together to learn new skills. If you are brought in from an external organisation to do this it can be daunting, especially if all of your attendees already know one other… there goes the getting-to-know-you section.
There are three things every good trainer does:
- Connects with their attendees
- Builds trust and rapport with their attendees
- Establishes their position of authority on the matter and reassures attendees that they will benefit from their training/expertise
The third point is sometimes difficult, especially if attendees have had no choice but to attend, and/or they believe their attendance is not necessary.
If you tend to do group work with your attendees, how do you decide who works with whom? Do you allow them to decide?
- I allow them to decide
- I decide
- Do attendees stay with their friends/department?
- Is it normal for them to slip into their usual working roles?
- How do you allocate roles otherwise?
- Do they remain in the same group throughout?
- … If not, do they choose their own second group?
