The goal of active training is to...
- minimize lecturing (and slide shows)
- increase participation
- enliven learning
- deepen retention
- encourage application Method
Developed by Mel Silberman, training guru and best-selling author, The Active Training™ Method is proven to deliver these results, even if you teach dry material. It also applies to any topic, from the softest to the hardest.
Plus, it works with small groups or large audiences in live or virtual classrooms.
From team building to safety standards, from conflict management to project management, from new employee orientation to advanced training, you can turn your ordinary training sessions into extraordinary events.
Join us for this informative Webcast where Silberman will explain the ins and outs of Active Training™ and provide you with practical strategies designed to enliven your training sessions.
Some of these methods are a lot of fun and some are downright serious but they all work to deepen involvement, learning, and change.
