    I hope to be putting forward a series of Training Tips 56 videos soon on various aspects of making effective presentations. I have a few ideas but still interested in what you would like to see. Here is a good article which may get you thinking. It may also help you. The video below is…

    As promised here is our first Training Tips 56 video for the year. Sorry for the delay but it has been a very busy year so far with a number of critical career and business changes and hence I just haven’t had the time. I will be posting new videos regularly so ensure that you…

    What are you doing on the long weekend? Dabling in something I hope. I am often talking to trainers about the importance of what they do when they aren’t training people. It’s your hobbies and interests that allow you to relate to your widely varied participants. This doesn’t mean you have to do everything but if…

    I was waiting for a long black to turn up yesterday and I over heard this young boy say to his mum, “I always dance better when my back is to the audience”. Interesting comment. I wondered why. Is it because when he can’t see the audience he is not distracted and can concentrate on…

    A number of people I know are learning how to facilitate online learning. At first glance you may think, well apart from the technology there isn’t a great deal of difference. To a certain extent this is true as you are still teaching, still attempting to explain new content and achieve certain learning outcomes but…

    Maybe it’s you, maybe it’s a training participant, maybe it’s your parents or a family member but if you can’t cope  with computers and just don’t know how to use them or you don’t know how to begin to explain to someone else how to use them, try this excellent and growing website setup by…

    I was surprised by this article. Maybe I shouldn’t be as it is in the USA. Read it here. Basically a survey found that 60% of biology teachers skip around the topic of evolution. Do you think that could be happening in Australia? What about at our many religious orientated private schools? What it got…

    Listen to this short podcast on how happy brains perform better. Probably not surprising. I ask training groups all the time what makes a training session better than average and one of the most consistent responses is a humorous, fun session. It is also one of my measures of success. If the program was fun…

    Workplace learning is a term we have been throwing around in Australia for quite a few years without much explanation except that the learning is done in the workplace. At present workplace learning is probably being over shadowed by the other very popular term e learning. Workplace learning is a great delivery device but careful…

    I’ve written a few posts about body language and its importance to trainers. One of the key aspects of body language though is not over interpreting. Make sure you have read informed, knowledgeable articles and that you have gathered suitable quality evidence before you start to read too much into what you see a person…
