SB107 Inverting the Negative
4:00 PM - 4:45 PM Wednesday, June 10
New Possibilities
The title notwithstanding, this session isn’t
about a cool Photoshop technique; it’s about tips and techniques that trainers can
use to change negative attitudes into positive ones among learners. Many
trainers struggle with how to encourage the reluctant learner to take interest
in a mandatory session. In this session you will explore how to engage
learners in content regardless of the subject. You will examine examples everyone
has faced with less than stellar subject matter, such as annual regulatory
compliance and mandatory training requirements. You will leave this session
with tips and tricks for engaging learners in challenging subjects.
