Ten Myths Most Trainers Believe
One of the great things about the training profession is its people. The wide variety of backgrounds brings a great mixture of talent, but it also means that many of us learned training on the job. And much of what we learned may not actually be all that effective.
Join us as we take a fun and provocative look at some of the things we often believe about the training industry and practice that might need to be challenged. Come with expectation to have your own thoughts tested and walk away with new insights to make your training programs come alive with excitement, efficiency, and effectiveness.
What will people gain from this program?
- Motivation to examine all aspects of their training programs.
- Awareness of some common mistakes in mindset, and how that affects the value and outcomes of students.
- Tips for cleaning up and improving training quickly.
Who Will Benefit?
Stand up training providers (instructors), instructional designers, training managers, and students will all be challenged to rethink their views on training.
Alan Hoffler
The tour guide for our journey is our own Alan Hoffler. Alan brings teaching experience from high school, college, the corporate world, and now as an independent consultant to the table. Plus, he’s believed more wrong things, made more mistakes, and delivered more lousy training than just about anybody else. His critical eye and willingness to try something new can challenge all of us to deliver more engaging, more effective, and more efficient training.
Raised around America's Space Program, Alan Hoffler has earned degrees in aerospace engineering and applied mathematics and never bothered to pursue a living in either field. At some point in his 20 years of training technical corporate audiences, instructing in the college classroom and teaching public high school he became passionate about helping others communicate more effectively. He believes that communication has the power to change a person, an organization, a community, and the world. When he’s not speaking or training, he stays active writing and presenting safety curricula for the AOPA Air Safety Foundation, serving in the local ASTD chapter, supporting activities and instructing in his local church, and enjoying the privileges of his private pilot’s license. His blog identifies solutions to common communication foibles and highlights his analytical eye and desire to improve himself as well as his clients. His most challenging training endeavor is also his most enjoyable – raising two children. He joined ASTD in 2004 as way to connect with others who are passionate about delivering exceptional training and has served the local RTA chapter as VP of Communications and President.
