The world of agile has been around for a long time and is here to stay. Team and organizations are working, changing and inceremntaly evolving sometime in very complex ways, still guided by the simple agile prinicples. How can we, as facilitator and trainers keep up with that world, and more importantly, how can we support people and organizations on that journey? Many are looking in that world from it’s boundaries, not knowing how to step in and contribute by doing what they do best.
This short course is imagined as a guided journey through the world of agile, connecting the dots between the agile world and the world of facilitation and training.

➡️Know how to find and use valuable research results for their training
➡️Have a lot of inspiration for transforming hard data into exciting session
➡️Know how to recognise a high quality research paper
➡️Know interesting research results and training myths in the fields of creativity, motivation, leadership and adult education

Trainers and facilitators interested to understand better agile approach, agile transformation, agile organizations and get inspired by the principles of agile to increase the quality of their work as trainers.

During this session we will take a closer look at designing your training, past the limits of the 4MAT model towards twerking your training design on the details, based upon a dutch training design model. We will take a closer look at how to make your training start exactly at that point where participants need it to start, how to make your exercises fitting the day-to-day practice (roleplays, case studies etc) and how to make sure your participants leave the training room with the confidence and skills to really put what they learned into practice.

➡️be able to fit their training design, and specifically the start of their training precisely with the characteristics of their target audience
➡️make sure that participants leave the training room with a success
➡️make their training specific enough for participants to be able to learn concrete new behavior in difficult situations

Trainers and facilitators who have some experience in training delivery and design and are not satisfied with the limits of 4MAT design. They realize some of their trainings make people leave happy, but don’t actually change behavior. They want to make their trainings more specific, concrete and fitting with their target group.

Stories help us connect to the narrative emotionally in a relatable and meaningful way, involving a whole spectrum of experiences that create a better recall and session retention. But it’s only true for great stories! With hands on practice we will explore what makes a good story and what are the ones to avoid in the training session, leaving you with a story to tell that will provide your future participants a lasting memory and learnings of your session. If you look to drive more action, set a context that is relatable to learners and connect your learners meaningfully to the content of your training – this workshop will make it happen!

➡️Learn the basics of storytelling framework
➡️Learn and practice what makes a good story – how to make it meaningful and personal
➡️Experience the impact of a story that facilitate richer experience in trainings.
➡️Write and practice different stories live with their fellow participants.
➡️ Know do’s and don’t’s for facilitators when using the storytelling in a session.
At the end of the session each participant of this workshop will have in his possession at least one story to tell like a PRO.

Facilitators and trainers that want to design sessions richer in personal experience, so their participants will remember it for a long time. Trainers who already have experience in their field and are looking to learn new ways of engaging their audience.

This is about you reaching the next level in your professional development. It is about you, unleashing the next level of learning, presenting yourself, your work, your experience, or your organization.
It is about you reaching a higher expression of yourself.

This is for every person who had/or has to speak in a group, give a presentation, introduce themselves, prepare for a pitch, give a keynote, present with slides, etc. It is truly the basis of next level presentations, by going FURTHER than the typical public speaking tricks like voice, body language, eye contact and such.
