Effective Training 4 – Helping Apprehensive Delegates
Many people do not look forward to computer training. They get anxious that the course will be too difficult or complex, or stressed by the fear that they will fail in some way. For some people, this is exacerbated if the training is just computer based, without a trainer on hand. Think about it – have you ever been frustrated because a computer doesn’t do what you expect or want it to do, or because an automated answering service doesn’t give you the option you are looking for? A large part of that frustration is because there is no one on hand to listen to your problem and offer assistance. When you finally find someone to help, the problem usually evaporates.
This is a very real problem that affects people in all walks of life. It’s also a problem for your business if you are arranging computer training for employees, because when people are stressed they don’t learn very well. All sorts of mental barriers go up, and they are not receptive to the information that is being given to them.
So what can you do about it? For a start, if there is no test to pass, make sure you tell prospective delegates this at the outset. That’s one barrier removed.
If you are considering using computer based training (CBT) – that’s automated training without a human trainer, be very careful. CBT is quite popular with very technical people, especially computer staff, because they are generally at ease working with computers and complex technical issues. For everyone else, you are probably better off using an experienced trainer. The most popular form of this is a training class, where the trainer presents the topics to a room of delegates, each sitting at a desk with a PC.
A good trainer will put delegates at ease right from the start. The effect is amplified if you are running a series of training courses. If, during the first training session, delegates get to know and trust the trainer, by the second course they are much more relaxed and often actually looking forward to it. This bodes well for the results your training project will achieve, and hence for your business.
Having a trainer in the room means there is someone on hand to answer questions. A trainer is able to explain things in a variety of ways if delegates are struggling to understand something, and can demonstrate topics to individuals if necessary. Some people will understand it explained one way, others another.
If you are planning a number of classes, try to group delegates together with people they work with or that you know they get on with. Having a familiar, friendly face in the room will help. However, be sure to keep people of similar levels of competency together; beginners with beginners, experts with experts. This reduces the chances of people feeling embarrassed that they’re not keeping up, or frustrated that they’re being held back by others. It also makes it easy to ensure you are arranging the right course for the right group. There’s little point in sending Excel novices on an Advanced Microsoft Excel Training course, and that certainly wouldn’t help apprehensive employees. A training needs analysis will help here (see article 2 in this series).
Finally, keep class sizes to a reasonable number of delegates. If you go above 8 in a class, you start to impact the trainer’s ability to give sufficient attention to struggling delegates, and the bigger the class, the greater the potential for anxiety of failing in front of others.

Finding It $10.9 Welcome back to chez Bertinelli, where life is as crazy and comical as ever. In revealing talks with her longtime boyfriend, Tom, Valerie gets even more personal about her inner worries: her maternal anxieties about her son, Wolfie (he’s fallen in love and, as she writes, “getting your sex talk from Eddie Van Halen wasn’t recommended in any of the parenting books I read”); the challenges of dealing with a blended family; her mother’s own new diet adventure; and a craving for a deeper relationship with a Higher Power (“I have experienced days of inner peace and connectedness with a larger spirit—twice,” she writes. “Why not more often?”). And as if these everyday challenges weren’t enough, Valerie is working to maintain her own very public weight loss and approaching her fiftieth birthday. This is the story of what happens after you change your life. And it’s not all peaches and cream, or even low-fat yogurt. This inspiring memoir, from the beloved actress and author of the bestseller Losing It, is an optimistic story for trying times. Warm and friendly, honest and self-aware—with the same winning wit and candor that touched a generation of fans in Losing It — Finding It is about working on all the reasons we gain weight in the first place so that it doesn’t happen again. It’s about becoming better, not just thinner. And it’s about believing in love and happiness, having faith that both are possible, and finding out that God does want you to enjoy life’s desserts—even when you’re on a diet. |

Finding Your Voice $24.95 “This unique and powerful book is a must-read for any woman on a path of self-discovery and personal empowerment. Authored by seven leading female psychologists, Finding Your Voice is full of inspiring wisdom and practical tools and will give the reader thousands of dollars worth of therapy for the price of one book!” -Barbara De Angelis, Ph.D. author of Are You the One for Me? Recognize and realize your true desires Is your life what you want it to be? For most women, the answer is not really. Too often, we listen to everyone but ourselves when it comes to determining how our lives should be proceeding-and this prevents us from living the lives we really desire. In this remarkable new book, a team of highly credentialed psychologists shows you how to overcome unproductive, blameful thoughts and unrealistic expectations-the things you tell yourself about how marriages, friendships, children, and careers should be. Each chapter lays out widely promoted images of a modern woman-the mother raising a perfect child and loving every minute of it, the top-of-her-game career woman, the woman who loves her body just as it is-then reveals how women more often beat themselves up with these ideals than achieve them. Finding Your Voice shows you how to use self-talk to sort through expectations, isolate your own voice, and take the necessary steps to meet your unique needs. You’ll be happier and more confident, and you will live a more fulfilled life-the one you’re entitled to. |
