Course description
Consulting Skills for Trainers - Live Online
This Consulting Skills for Trainers (train-the-trainer) workshop shows you how to become a catalyst for making measurable improvements within your organization. It teaches you how to thoroughly investigate employee performance and gives you the tools to determine which performance problems are training-related vs. those that are non-training related. As with any problem, there needs to be a viable solution. You’ll explore a variety of training and non-training solutions as interventions for various employee performance problems. Lastly, you’ll walk away with a structured performance improvement process, as well as critical people skills to help build your credibility as a performance consultant.
This workshop is delivered in a live online format and is also available as on-site (in person)/company specific/exclusive virtual session. For programs held or attended in Canada, listed prices will be charged in CAD. Please contact Langevin for more details.
