Description

There comes a point in learning experiences when merely presenting content no longer works. It is like a nail that is blunted at the endpoint. No matter how much you hammer, it does not penetrate the surface. In effect, learning results in diminishing returns.

But don’t despair. Designers, trainers, and coaches have another tool in their arsenal. Voila! These are the thinking tools and exercises. There is nothing complicated about them. In a nutshell, they are simply activities that help learners wrap their minds around the content you are teaching. The thinking tools and exercises aid learners to ask questions and find answers. They challenge the learners to interpret the content in their own context.

In this webinar, Ray will share his library of 25 Thinking Tools and Exercises. He has used these tools with verifiable results.

Topics to cover:
  • What do you do when content presentations no longer engage learners?
  • What do you do when learners are unable to apply ideas and fail to connect ideas to their real work situations?
  • What are Thinking Tools?
  • Why are they valuable to get results in learning?
  • What are three must-do thinking processes to help learners improve learning experiences?
  • Cases and examples on when and how to use Thinking Tools:
    • Troubleshooting
    • Consequence Thinking
    • 80/20 Rule
    • Trial and error
    • Metrics
    • Diagraming
    • Brainstorming
  • How to apply Thinking Tools in compliance, sales, leadership, coaching, and other topic areas.
