Adult Learning

I am designing a new training program for a corporation and spent a great deal of time watching children in the playground while coming up with this one! It might sound whacky but I think it makes sense... try this on...

Most people don't like to be "trained"

They do thrive on interaction... the kids in the playground were having fun! I am making my training fun with new activities.

I also watched as kids made up games... some were silly, and all interesting... I am going to use games related to the work these folks do which will be fun and engage all team members. I might even get some silly prizes!

I also noticed that the kids got bored fast... so no activity will be long... we'll take a lot of breaks and change up the activities every 20 minutes or so.

I can't wait to train this corporation and to bring this model to other companies!
