Train-the-Trainer for Speak To Influence™

The Speak to Influence™ "train-the-trainer" is a 3-step three-day program taught by a qualified facilitator from The Great Voice Company. First, trainers go through the entire day-and a-half long workshop as if they were participants. Then, they read through the entire facilitator guide as a group and ask and receive answers to questions about the facilitation of each module. Finally each trainer is assigned a section of the workshop for a "teach-back" to a small group on which they will receive feedback. They then develop an implementation plan for rolling out the workshop company-wide.

Day 1 and Day 2: The trainers experience the entire 1.5 day workshop as "regular" participants.

Each trainer will be provided with the Participant Workbook. They mark places in the participant materials where they might have questions regarding the facilitation required.

Day 2 and Day 3: The trainers read through the entire Facilitator Guide as a group and then ask questions about how to facilitate each module.

Each trainer will be provided with his own Facilitator Guide and a full set of overheads. Selected video segments will be viewed again and there will be a discussion about how to debrief them. Trainers will learn what questions to expect from participants and how to answer them appropriately. They will also learn how to manage and navigate around "hot issues" that are going on within the company.

Day 3: Each trainer will each be assigned a section of the workshop for a "teach-back" to a small group on which they will receive feedback. Then they develop an implementation plan for rolling out the workshop company-wide.

Each trainer will be assigned a certain portion of the workshop that he/she will prepare. Each trainer will facilitate a short segment of the workshop as if he/she were really teaching it. Members of the group will provide written, constructive feedback to each presenter using the guided feedback form to be provided. The facilitator will also provide suggestions regarding the individual's facilitation skills. Upon the conclusion of the session, the trainers will (collectively or individually depending upon the company needs) develop an implementation plan using a template provided.
