Sneak Peak- raw video from film shoot in Las Vegas

Lesson 1 Snap Shot

It is critical to identify your audience as soon as possible. It is highly suggested that you make mental notes of your audience immediately in order to develop strategy that you can utilize within minutes of interaction. Larger groups will obviously take longer to pinpoint than a small team.

Engaging your audience with the following strategies will provide you with your core of operations:

The Prisoner- “The Call Out”

Put the prisoner on the spot by welcoming them into the group. This is aggressive on your part but will be a great *icebreaker and will provide laughter. Make this fun for them. A smile and a little chuckle will go a long way. If necessary recall being a prisoner yourself. Anytime you can stop recall being any of these characters is great.  It is fantastic to be human to your group because sometimes we can appear robotic because we are so into our training. Build up your momentum!

The Vacationer- “The Curve Ball”

It is very important to mention that the vacationer and the expert are closely related. Your student could be on vacation because they are previously knowledgeable in the subject or may have past experience.  Watch for wolves in sheep’s clothing. So let’s change it up a bit. Take your topic out of the text book and explain it in a real life situation. Get off topic a little in the beginning so that you capture the vacationers’ attention and suck them in by telling a story that relates. Finally put the topic into the hands of the vacationer by giving them the floor for a minute to share their story on topic.

The Expert- “2^nd in Command”

In some cases you may have to talk to your experts individually without making a spectacle of your conversation (preferably after class). All bets are off if you have a 3 hour class to train and the expert is being disruptive early on. “The Call Out” can be executed at this point. Your 2 main goals for your expert is to get them to stop being disruptive but they must feel important by contributing to your training. Let the expert become your teacher’s aide. The worst case scenario is when the expert has learned the topic of discussion one way prior to this training “your way” or the “new way.”  A few problems could occur at this point. Your students could become torn on which way works best or worse use the experts’ information and not yours.

Here is a list of questions and statements you can lay on the expert after delivery of your subject in training: Please note placement of these suggestions should be in front of class or group

“How did you handle that situation at your company?”

“I totally understand where you are coming from but we do it this way not because your way is wrong but because…Can you tell us a little more about that…” (*delivery sandwich)

“Can I use you for a minute? Great please demonstrate…”

The Explorer- “We came, We saw, We conquered, Is that it?”

The explorer will help you steer your audience. But will it be in the direction that you want to head? Well hopefully you are constantly monitoring yourself talk mechanism and internally are processing the direction of your audience. So here is what you need to know:(this is the most important) Be available for your student. Whether you stay after your presentation and or are available for one on one or questions need to be answered during class, L  you need to make your brain available for the picking.

Know your material. Welcome the challenge. Study up

If you are BIG TIME (leader, respected, empowering) you must be or act as if you are the material/subject matter expert at all the times. If you are a rookie or a seasoned veteran this always applies. So if you half too “* fake it till you make it” and or “*act as if.”

A Bit of Lesson 3 “Setting the Tone”

"The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one." - Elbert Hubbard

Introduction

Most trainers and coaches are terrible students. Our attention span goes out the window when it’s time for us to learn. The minute you step into the shoes of the learner you must check the following at the door. Check you’re…

Attitude

Previous Knowledge

Title and or Rank

Swagger

Perceptions

Resume

Entourage

So what does Coaching Train mean? Why are we recognizing how we feel and not our learners? Well in order to understand the full thought process of your room you need to step into their shoes. Now of course you have to remember that our tendencies will be stronger than your learner but will defiantly be in the same categories. So it is going to be extremely critical that we break down each tendency, by defining them and ultimately provide you with a plan of attack so that you can corral these classroom deflators. Before we start today’s lesson let’s put these tendencies into two categories. External Funnel & Internal Pulse: PUT THEM ON ICE TODAY! Do you see a reoccurring theme here?
