What you'll learn

Module 1: Creating Context

Great trainers don’t just deliver information, they set the stage for transformation. In this module, you’ll discover how adults actually learn, why context is the key to comprehension, and how to help your learners truly connect—and remember—with what you’re teaching.

Module 2: Facilitating Different Personality Styles

Every classroom is a mix of four main personalities styles, and great facilitators know how to reach them all. You’ll learn how to spot and work with each of these styles, discover your own personality style and how it impacts your facilitation, and adapt your approach so every participant is fully engaged in their unique learning experience.

Module 3: Communicating

Your words matter, but so does everything else. In this module, you’ll discover how to use body language, tone, and presence to communicate with confidence and authenticity. You’ll also learn practical tools to overcome fear, give clear direction, and make your training land with impact.

Module 4: Learning Culture

The culture you create sets the tone for every learning experience. Here, you’ll learn how to design an environment—both physical and psychological—that promotes openness, curiosity, and growth. From setup to mindset, you’ll gain the tools to build a space where learning thrives.

Module 5: Increasing Participation

Tired of blank stares and passive listeners? This module helps you turn every participant into an active contributor. Learn how to draw out quieter voices, balance skill levels, and bring energy and discovery back into the room so your sessions feel alive, connected, and dynamic.

Module 6: Managing Difficult Questions & Participants

Even the best sessions come with tough moments. You’ll gain strategies for navigating challenging questions, competitive or resistant participants, and off-track conversations—all while staying calm, confident, and in control. Learn to turn classroom tension into teaching gold.

Module 7: Learning Styles

Not everyone learns the same way, and that’s your secret advantage. You’ll explore how each of the three learning styles absorb information, and discover ways to design and deliver training that clicks for everyone. By the end, you’ll see learning through three powerful lenses.

Module 8: Adult Learning Sciences

Go deeper into the science of what makes adult learning work. You’ll uncover the three principles of adult learning sciences, and learn how to create training that’s meaningful, relevant, and built for real-world results. This is where your facilitation becomes transformational.
