Training

I am attending a 3 day seminar to improve my training skills. Yesterday was day one. The trainer has been really energetic and the material has already started me thinking about how I can do things differently.

We started the day with them video taping a minute intro to something we normally train. Then for the first exercise we each had to mime an activity while talking about something totally unrelated. The next thing we practiced was using our hands to describe the thing the trainer gave us to talk about. After that we each had to pick a role to play and be very energetic and expressive to get our message across. The last exercise we did was to tell a story about how we ended up as a trainer.

He video taped us during the role play and the story. We started critiquing each person's performance looking for things we wanted to work on over the next two days. Today we will finish watching the tapes and get started with working on our "issues".

The class was fun and interesting. The drive home sucked! Dallas traffic in 100 degree weather with no A/C not fun at all. I am not looking forward to the drive home tonight. lol.
Hope today is just as interesting as yesterday.
