We always want to gain some sort of commitment from attendees at training sessions to applying their learning into the workplace. Sometimes we have limited time to explore how they are going to do this. Here are a number of questions (based on management training) you can use to encourage the attendee to think about;
·
how they will apply the learning
what the benefits of applying the learning will be
what the consequences of not applying the learning will be
Great Questions
1. What, specifically, are you going to do differently as a result of this training? When will you do this? How will you know you have been successful?
2. What management reputation would you like to have in 12 months time? How will this training help you to achieve that?
3. What do you want your staff and boss to be saying about you in 6 months time?
4. What further questions does this training raise for you? How are you going to find the answers?
5. Where are you going to find the support you need to apply this training?
And what I think is the very best question you can ask;
6. If you leave this training and do nothing different, what will the consequences be?
It’s all about helping the attendee to see a) the benefits of applying the training into the workplace and / or b) the consequences of taking no action at all
