This unusual train-the-trainer seminar on how adults learn is an opportunity for participants to review the research on adult learning styles, and think through with other professionals how to move beyond helping a client merely understand what you are saying, to the real skill retention needed to change behavior. Don't just tell your clients, sell them on the new skills that they need to make a better balanced, more successful life for themselves. Helping professionals can greatly increase their own effectiveness by learning the tricks of the educator's trade including how to create and use handouts, simulations, humor, stories, and skills practice right in the office. Effective use of visuals to support adult learning as well as adequate time for mutual mentoring and problem solving of participant's real work challenges will be offered.
