How does the training add to your training skills?



There is one thing that we practiced a lot in this course is called 'sensory acuity'.

Being able to notice that has helped me become aware (or conscious) of how and what my participants are going through during an activity or in general. So this has helped me in bringing up relevant and on point questions during debriefing sessions.

Also, you get to understand the language pattern of your participants.

I've done one training assignment after that and there is an interesting observation that there was a dominant language pattern among participants and it highly reflected their culture. Being aware of that and trying to 'mirror and match' that has helped me develop an amazing rapport with them.

The science of assessment

A skill is defined as the speed of accessing the subconscious memory to follow the instructions of the brain without any hindrance of the conscious brain to perform an activity is called a skill.                         There are two types of quotients that are crisp in a definition and separately measurable through basic gauges. One is the conscious brain and sends off the subconscious brain. IQ and EQ are quotients of the conscious brain.  The science of assessment lies in calibrating which quotients is you working on, to begin with. Knowledge sense or skill resides in totally different parts of the brain. Knowledge can only be tested through testing memory. Which schools do by taking exams. That's why kids are not functional human beings when they come out of school. Conscious Memory doesn't at all contribute to any skill. And mostly it's the skill part that...

What skills and training would any of you deem essential for a trainer? I.e. qualifications, skills, training for a trainer, certifications, etc. (Maybe we can derive a general common list out of this)?

My personal opinion is that a trainer should be   strong in practicing empathy and problem solving skills so that they can identify and understand the 'actual problem that's there' and have a 'solution that's relevant to the participants and their reality'. This has always dictated my homework/preparation and content development process and has helped me create engagement during the sessions too even when my public speaking skills are 'just average' and I've seen more certified trainers and excellent public speakers struggling with engagement or/and staying relevant.  Companies mostly don't invest much in post training anchoring of   behavior change that in my opinion impacts the long term results. And without that I personally believe that no training can bring a behavior change in the long term.  There's an excellent book called 'know can do' on this that I would say all trainers must read.
