Training from the back of the room (try-out)

Description

How do people learn new things? And what is the best way to teach people new stuff? This session provides some initial answers to these questions. Or no, even better, this session will allow and facilitate you to find the answer to these questions yourself! And you will be triggered to further explore the world of training and facilitation.

In this session, we provide the concepts from the Sharon Bowman bestseller Training from the back of the room to make you a better facilitator and trainer.

This session is a FREE try out for our session at XP Days 2011. Son don't miss this opportunity!

Benefits

As a result of this session, you will look differently at learning and at your own role and responsibility as a trainer or facilitator. You’ll be a better trainer providing optimal learning environments for people. And you will also be better in presenting stuff and in facilitating meetings, workshops, etc so they yield better results in the end.

Learning Objectives

The objective of this session is to have participants both learn and experience what training from the back of the room means. The content of the session will prepare participants to start facilitating trainings, presentations and meetings better when they walk out of the room.

Target Audience

This session is not only for trainers that are teaching courses. You will also benefit from this session if you are:

• a ScrumMaster or Agile coach facilitating meetings, coaching teams and explaining Agile to people
