CALLING ALL INDIE TRAINERS!!!

Great idea, Jessie. Count this long time trainer in to share what I've learned and to learn from you and all the other participants.

Does it include dancing and coffee? I'm in if it does!

Oh wait.... wrong type of training. Those were my college days.

How about breaking it up into 3-5 minutes "best of" sharing sessions were we can spill our best practices?

I am interested in workshop development. I run several workshops a year and can always use a little boost.

I'm in, depending on the date...

Jessie.. count me in pending date and time. BTW: Happy Thanksgiving ..... Howard

Next...

I've found that I'm good at reading the signs and symptoms indicating whether individuals are connecting with the program. Knowing something isn't working for someone, I've been very successful at identifying the problem and helping them get connected.

The thing I most want to explore and learn about is finding the right mix of media, audience participation and me in my programs.

I think I'm pretty good at being sensitive to the mood and facilitating thought provoking questions and spuring on discussion and debate. I've done some classes that lasted an hour after a 5 min intro and I never had to say another word.

I am interested in ways to break the ice with groups that do no know each other previously.

Jessie,

Seeing as I am one of your biggest fans, you know I'd be there as long as I'm not teaching that night or afternoon! :0)

Any idea on the date , time place?

What is one main area in which you think you excel?

I am a jack of all trades, and my strength in training is usually the ability to put myself in the trainees shoes using that personality. I also have an aptitude for taking the most technical jargon and explaining it in non-techie terms.

One main area in which you would like to develop yourself?

I would like to improve on the variety of styles I know, ranging from front stage training to group participation models.

I have a venue with stage, sound system, and big screen.

We have a full bar. And coffee.

I can arrange for a band.

I am also a former recruiter/trainer in the yellow pages industry - one of my incarnations in this lifetime. This interests me greatly.

Let me know!

Am I late to the party?

I am not the most seasoned presenter but I have a few successes under my belt. I find that I have been most successful when I get out of my head and speak from the heart. I find the heart felt presentation when I am speaking about something I am passionate about and well versed on. I also find my stride when I do all the exercises I know to do that connect me with my core power.

For the most part I want to learn. I could offer thoughts on connecting to and presenting from your true core energy, mustering internal resources and creating exercises for the audience. We could try some NLP based resource building exercises.

Wed. nights are tough for me as I run men’s groups that night.

Thanks,

Greg Hoskins

I guess I am supposed to weigh in on one of my strengths and an area that I want to improve on...

Strength - using humor and storytelling in my presentations and classes.

What I want to improve on - not talking so quickly and drawing individual participants back in when I see them fading (usually b/c I have had to share a big block of info w/o interaction from the group)

Looking forward to this event, Jess!

Hi Jess - I just came across this - I'm interested. I'll come back later with more - just wanted to go on record for now...

Thanks for bringing it up!

Ed

Let's set a date and time for the 2nd half of January. What do you think. Maybe Julies place (what is available, J? Maybe give a few times/dates to choose from)... Daytime, early afternoon, maybe...

In the meantime, I am looking for a few more authors that have a business oriented message to complete the team we have collaborating on the book, YOUR SALES FORCE. Anyone that wants to find out more, please shoot me an email miked@bizbuilderswa.org or give me a ring 360 710-1374 and we can meet/correspond sooner than January.

I'd be interested depending on the date and whether or not I'm in town. I am always looking for ways to improve my skill as a trainer.

Hi! I want to play too! This is a great idea - and I am sure my stuff could use an update. I'm interested in "up-selling" without bashing people over their heads with it. And as for my talents...I'm good at putting people at ease and managing the crowd.

Thanks Jesse!

HI Jess, Sorry I jumped out of the biznik wagon for a while and missed all the updates, including your follow up questions, so, to answer:
what is one main area in which you think you excel:
-Igniting people's excitement, depth of connection and willingness to take transformative risks.
one main area in which you would like to develop yourself:
-I'd like to be clear with myself and participants before, during and after an what our focus and expected outcomes are (and stick to that).

I look forward to hearing more! Will you propose a few different dates?

Thanks Jess and Happy Holidays!
Warmly, Leif
