How to be a Brain Friendly Trainer

 

From: Ann Grindrod and Stella Collins, Co-Founders of Brain in Business.
To:     People who facilitate learning in others – whatever your job title might be.
Re:     Truly transfom your training - in just three terrific days!

By the time you’ve finished reading this page, you will understand …

Red tick What How to be a Brain Friendly Trainer™ will add to your professional toolkit.
Red tick How it’s the most comprehensive way to absorb a brain friendly learning model.
Red tick Why you won’t want to wait a minute longer to achieve measurable workplace results.

 

Now, you probably think you’ve learnt a lot of this before … how to facilitate groups, how to incorporate icebreakers and energisers, how to use PowerPoint, how to deal with challenge, etc.

So before you read any further, we want to make one thing very clear

Truly transforming your training means
putting on a different hat
to the one you’ve worn up till now!

It means you use your design and development time differently. It means you apply a results driven model consistently to everything you develop. It means you creatively embrace all kinds of media in everything you teach. And above all else, it means you put your learners’ learning first.

Putting on a different hat

But here’s the challenge …

Just knowing all the tools and techniques of our trade
doesn’t always result in effective learning …

… but consistently applying and modelling what you learn
WILL produce measurable workplace results.

And do you know what concerns us?

… Some facilitators don’t even get round to discovering what is current best practice in learning.

… Some facilitators build their knowledge piecemeal which means they don’t learn when and how to apply it to greatest effect.

… Some facilitators never challenge the status quo which often means they’re working in non-learner centred environments, not known for producing great results!

Classroom

So do you want to be like some facilitators of learning,
or would you rather …?

Red tickLook forward to designing your sessions because of the creativity this unleashes?
Red tickBe more in tune with your audiences even without a learning needs analysis?
Red tickPeople were absorbed in what you teach because they’re enjoying how they learn?
Red tickLearners retain a long-term memory of the information and learning shared?
Red tickYour input guarantees that meaningful, measurable results are achieved?
Red tickFeel you’re doing the best job in the world and welcome what each new day brings?

We thought so!

Which is why we created How to be a Brain Friendly Trainer.

How to be a Brain Friendly Trainer

An easy to follow, yet comprehensive experience of how to apply a proven brain friendly model from invitation to evaluation – and in just 24 hours!

Let us share with you our plan for building your learning, so you can see just how much you’ll take away; and because we believe in modelling everything, you’ll be 100% immersed in the methods we teach.

 

How to be a Brain Friendly Trainer™

Star Pre-reading – an ebook outlining the principles and benefits of brain friendly learning.
Star Learning needs analysis – so that we can ensure the emphasis of the programme meets your specific needs.
Star You decide on a real workplace application that you want to design and deliver.
This element begins to programme your brain towards learning for yourself (because you’re usually wearing the facilitator’s hat), and encourages you to think about what learning outcomes are most important for you. This enables you to hit the ground running on Day 1.

 

Stage 2. Face to face workshop

Laying Firm Foundations

Star Tools to get everyone talking and learning – as soon as you arrive!
Star How to stimulate the brain to stay alert during presentations, learning and knowledge transfer.

Star Planning all aspects of learning, the brain friendly way.
 
Building the Structure
Star The 6-step learning process - how to achieve consistent success with all you design, develop and deliver.
Star Motivating ideas to keep the audience engaged, responsive and refreshed, irrespective of the information content!
Star How do the 5 senses affect how everyone absorbs information and learning? – designing materials and resources for all preferences. Building the Structure
Star The theory and practice of the multiple intelligences and their importance in making learning meaningful to all. Amongst other things, this knowledge helps to minimise challenge in the learning environment.
Star Effective methods to trigger your audience’s memory for all the facts and figures you present – you’ll learn well over 40!
Star Identify 57 ways to test learners’ understanding of what has been learned.
Star Discover the impact of using reviews to retain learning; this is the key to workplace transfer and long-term memory.
Star How learning preferences are a major factor within diversity management which you can’t afford to ignore.
 
Joinery

Star Why creativity is important in learning and how to get your own creative juices flowing ready for your session.
Star Framing learning through themes and how to open sessions in ways which engage all your learners.
Star Learning to use media and a treasure trove of value for money resources, in a brain friendly way.
Star Design time for your very own session – to be based on a real work application for you.
Star Food for fit brains – which foods help your learners’ concentration, alertness, and memory.
 
DIY Delivery
Star Refresher on how to give feedback constructively.
Star Practical delivery of your session to a small group.

Who benefits from attending this event?

Firstly, we want to tell you why you might not benefit from joining us at How to be a Brain Friendly Trainer™! You might not benefit if you …

Bullet Have picked up your learning piecemeal and honestly believe that you’ve now got the whole brain friendly picture.
Bullet Think that audiences automatically understand and retain what you say, just because you’re a skilled or humorous facilitator.
Bullet Consider the way that you share knowledge with your learners is the only way to do it, because it’s always worked for you.

Happily, the majority of learning facilitators we work with wouldn’t describe themselves in this way!

So personally, you’re going to benefit from joining us if you are …

Red tick Curious about how to motivate people in different ways to take in learning, to understand it, to retain what they’ve learned and to apply their new knowledge in action.
Red tick Working to a budget.
Red tick Interested in how you can deploy your time and energy to best effect when you’re in the design and development phase.
Red tick Keen to see, hear and experience how to use PowerPoint more effectively – or not at all!
Red tick Appreciative that a wide range of media is available to enable learners to learn in the best ways for them.
Red tick Wanting to facilitate learner-centred environments, instead of instructional-based classrooms.
Red tick On a quest to add value at all points of contact – with your colleagues, with your learners, with your clients.
Red tick Seeking inspiration for your continued professional development or maybe feeling a bit 'stuck in a rut'.
Red tick Ever told something is hard or impossible in education, training or learning but you want to make it meaningful and possible for others to understand.

And professionally, you’ll benefit from joining us at this event if you experience any of these situations (and more!) …

Red tick An expectation that you can cover 2 days’ material in 1 day – or less.
Red tick Receiving a wordy manual, and being asked to deliver the content.
Red tick Having responsibility for learning which is tough, technical or downright tortuous.
Red tick Being asked to deliver ‘mandatory’ learning to those who don’t want to know.
Red tick Designing learning programmes, without alignment to personal / business objectives.
Red tick Hearing horror stories about the ‘group’, and how they’ll behave in your session.
Red tick Working with people from very diverse backgrounds – all in the same group.
Red tick Juggling a bunch of ideas, but with no obvious way to link them together.
Red tick Unnatural, uninspiring environments; you’ll learn how to turn a dungeon into a delight.
Red tick Delivering learning, and knowing nothing about your participants in advance.
Red tick Being presented with 100 PowerPoint slides, and asked to deliver them.
Red tick Working with learners whose style is totally different from yours?
Red tick Learners falling asleep during the ‘graveyard’ slot – or even at other times.
Red tick Learn something yourself, and 24 hours later, remember very little?

Remember

In the 7 years we’ve run this programme (in a couple of different forms), here’s who’s joined us to transform the learning they deliver …

Red tick Heads of organisations - large and small. We’re thinking here of leaders who want to create lasting change or who are heavily involved in how learning is cascaded in their workplace.
Red tick Heads of L&D - people responsible for the strategic direction of how information is learned in the workplace.
Red tick Learning Designers – people who have the important task to prepare sessions or manuals for delivery or absorption by others but never get to see the results.
Red tick Learning Facilitators – those for whom the education, training or development of others is their daily bread and butter. This group includes learning consultants, trainers, teachers, lecturers, instructors, and may also include parents and community workers who have substantial input into the learning of others.
Red tick Learning Advocates – people within communities who have significant involvement in the design / delivery of education and training opportunities for individuals or groups.

Here are some of the questions we regularly help others
to work through which you too can confidently handle

"Is it possible to deliver learning effectively without using PowerPoint?"

Yes!! If you have previously attended one of our shorter events, you will know that we don’t always use PowerPoint – to the obvious relief of our audiences! However, in trained hands it can be a very powerful tool – especially when music is added to review learning. Throughout our event, we’ll be showing you how to use PowerPoint with a light touch, yet deliver your messages with great impact.

"What’s most important in helping people learn and retain new knowledge or skills?"

Part of our answer to this question revolves around the major topic of motivation (or ‘state’). As a participant you will experience first-hand what we do to motivate learners to learn before and during an event, and retain learning long after – ideas which we’ll be delighted for you to take away and act upon immediately! We use over 40 memory triggers to aid learners’ retention (in tests, achieving up to 100% retention!) – and by the end of the event, we’ll have shared them all with you.

"What’s all this ‘fluffy’ stuff I hear about  brain friendly learning?"

There are soundly researched reasons why true brain friendly trainers use colour, props, themes, toys, music, share humour, pay attention to the environment and nutrition, regularly check that the learning is meeting individuals’ needs, etc. You’ll quickly learn why we do what we do, and understand the difference it makes; knowledge that we want you to have if you ever need to handle challenge from participants. And this knowledge can help with challenges from other parts of organisations or senior management too. But what is really important for you, is that you learn when and how to use the whole brain friendly model because applying aspects piecemeal often gives facilitators even more challenges to handle!

"I’ve learnt some of this stuff before, although I don’t use it all the time. What more can you teach me?"

Knowledge is only data unless you act upon it. At our event you’ll learn: the important stuff about the brain; a rigorously tested process to apply to all learning; and how to use creativity throughout. Plus, you’ll be given design templates to follow. You’ll walk away with a clear blueprint of what you can do with every application, and how to apply your knowledge consistently. If you’re not sure we can add value for you, call us and we’ll find out together!

"How do I handle ‘difficult learners?"

We want to debunk the myth of ‘difficult learners’ right from the off – this is a phrase we never use and, unsurprisingly, we don’t have ‘difficult learners’. What brain friendly learning gives you is the knowledge that every individual has a unique way in which they learn best and how to tap into that. During the event, you will experience an interactive demonstration, of brain friendly learning applied to technical information, and find out how it’s designed to handle a wide range of learning styles.

"There are so many different aspects to learning; how do I know I’ll experience a ‘complete’ brain friendly event with you?"

Our reputation has been built by modelling everything we say on the tin. From invitation to final evaluation, we actively demonstrate, and you actively experience, how to design what you need to deliver, by keeping the brain firmly at the front of your mind. Plus we share extra learning throughout; learning which we believe is crucial to the whole brain friendly experience; and which you probably won’t find elsewhere. Check out our programme above!

"I head learning and development in my organisation. I want to breathe new life into our learning delivery, enhance organisational performance, and create long-term change."

Joining us at How to be a Brain Friendly Trainer™ is a great way to see, hear, feel, smell and taste, what you can do differently in your organisation. Throughout, you will work on your own applications, supported by us, experiencing first hand the effect these powerful methods can have on performance. You’ll leave feeling enthused to influence a sustainable difference in your organisation.

"Intuitively, I’ve developed a knack for helping people to understand and learn better, but I lack real structure as to how to achieve this consistently."

This is true of many people when we first work with them, because they’ve gained their knowledge piecemeal. Maybe they’ve read a book on effective facilitation, heard a lecture about group motivation, or even attended a bite size session. By learning bit by bit you can miss out on important learning – and it’s often the really important process or structure, that isn’t conveyed. What we do is share with you our successful model for learning transfer, which you can then seamlessly apply to all your material, irrespective of the topic.

 

This is where applying our model consistently comes in …

… because the results from applying our model consistently demonstrate that you and professional facilitators everywhere can truly transform what you teach, so long as you use the right tools at the right time and in the right way to make transformation happen.

Ironbridge

 

Meet the creators of this model for success –
Stella and Ann

We created the powerful, yet simple to apply model we use at How to be a Brain Friendly Trainer™ to help us, and learning facilitators just like you, to share learning enjoyably, meaningfully, and memorably, so that learners achieve workplace results.

So as we’ll be spending 3 days together in sharing our model with you, we want to tell you 3 facts about us, so you’ll know what to expect when we meet.

 

Fact One:
We’re passionate about enhancing your abilities
to facilitate learning and others’ abilities to remember.

Let’s be honest, who hasn’t been on the receiving end of a learning session which was boring, repetitive, unmeaningful, or sleep-inducing? With her background in technical environments, Stella recalls with horror attending plenty of sessions like that.

And we’re equally sure that we’ve all had experience of forgetting what it’s vital for us to remember, including at very critical times. Ann still breaks out in a cold sweat when she recalls waking up on the morning of a professional exam, only to find she’d forgotten 50% of the material!

Happily, irrespective of how you feel about your abilities as a facilitator, we know you can design and deliver learning more effectively, so that no matter how technical the topic, people will enjoy learning from you, they will remember more of what they learn, which will enable them to take action as a result. Which, let’s face it, should be the reason we’re all in this business!

 

Fact Two:
We’re committed to transforming both learning
and learning environments too.

Next time you’re in a hotel or conference centre, or outside a classroom, do what we do – have a peek or a listen in. Look at the expressions on learners’ faces, listen to the tones of those who are facilitating, put on those learners’ hats, and really experience what they’re going through in their attempts to extract meaning from turgid learning in environments without any soul.

Now we’re completely realistic that individuals and organisations don’t always have big budgets to spend, so in preparing for this event, we hand-pick reasonably-priced venues, that we transform before you arrive. Which means not only will you be learning in an appealing and inspiring environment, but you’ll see, hear, and experience, how to create one too.

 

Fact Three:
We’ve trained thousands of people, so we only share
with you, what consistently works for us.

The methods we employ have been used to share information about every subject you care to mention; we learned from others who trained in organisational development including leadership and strategy and we’ve applied our knowledge to every soft skills learning there is – assertiveness, customer care, influencing, presentation skills, time and stress management, writing for business – to name just a few.

And we’ve trained people to deliver wide-ranging technical topics too. This includes finance, health and safety, logistics, IT, law, medicine, government procedures, science, social care, etc. topics which we’re often told can be ‘dull’ and ‘hard to learn’.

In fact, we have yet to come across a topic that is intrinsically dull – because we know they can all be made meaningful and memorable for learners, by applying the model we use. In our experience, all learning is interesting – unfortunately, it’s the delivery that can be made dull!

We’ve been learning separately for years, and working together since 2001, to research and refine the model we’ve developed. And now lots of other people have learned this model and they in turn are truly transforming the material they deliver.

So let’s find out how just a few of them have transformed their training …

3 essentials to applying a
brain friendly model in action.

Essential One:
Underpin everything you design and deliver
with knowledge about how the brain functions best.

Case Study

We’d like you to meet Tracey – she’s the one in the brown trousers in the middle at the front.

At all our events for learning facilitators, where we’re teaching brain friendly learning, we believe that beginning with the brain in mind is probably the best place to start.

So we discuss different parts of the brain and how it functions, and our learners consider how to apply their new knowledge to the learning that they share.

Now Tracey’s a Health and Safety trainer, which most readers will know, is not always a popular topic, particularly when it has the words ‘mandatory attendance’ attached! And unfortunately this important topic, often results in lots of ‘no shows’.

As a result of her new learning, Tracey transformed both her invitations and her delivery, to encourage more people to turn up and learn.

Results

Word of mouth spread that H & S training was fun, memorable and useful.
Attendance at required events increased by 50% within 3 months.
Accidents at the Council went down.
Tracey’s pay went up.
More of the budget was allocated to health and safety training.

The Council’s investment in brain friendly learning was returned time after time after time!

Essential Two:
Apply a systematic process to everything
you design and deliver.

Case Study

Now please meet Mike. Mike’s an independent, trading as FAM360, an award-winning buildings refurbishment and safety training company.

Mike specialises in training CIEH to Levels 1, 2 and 3 and he learned how to apply a systematic brain friendly process to his design and delivery of learning to qualifications standards.

Results

Mike successfully applied the process to his own learning as well as to those whom he taught.
He grew in confidence and developed ways to test learners without embarrassment.
He knows how to motivate people to turn up and participate in the learning, whatever the topic.
He now has tools at his disposal to ensure learners who challenge him quickly discover what’s in the learning for them.
His learners consistently achieve 100% pass rates – meaning they remember everything Mike teaches them – 100%!

Mike’s investment in his own development has kept him ahead of the game!

 

Essential Three:
Apply creative thinking to
everything you design and deliver.

Case Study

We’d also like you to meet Chris and Gail – Chris is the guy in blue right in the middle at the back, and Gail’s kneeling at the front, holding up a yellow card.

They joined us at a 4-day brain friendly Train the Trainer event, when they were both working as Animal Health Officers. They were responsible for teaching people about the UK livestock import and export regulations.

As you may have read above, part of our event includes presenting a session to the group and they decided to work together on this one. On Day 1, they were planning to tweak their regular material a bit; on Day 2 they were starting to be unsure; by Day 3, they’d thrown their old material away, and had gone back to the drawing board.

So the session we saw, heard and participated in on Day 4 was about the import and export of livestock, themed to the Wizard of Oz!

Results

Chris and Gail continued to apply creative thinking to this session, and developed it so it was demanded far and wide by their colleagues.
The procedures started to be checked more carefully, resulting in more accurate and successful submissions to the authorities.
Part of their training delivery included teaching others how to spot errors producing an impressive 50% increase in the ‘failure detection rate’.
Neither Chris nor Gail speak French, but they successfully used brain friendly principles to teach Customs Officers the UK regulations in France.
Neither Chris nor Gail speak Spanish, but they successfully used brain friendly principles to teach Customs Officers the UK regulations in Spain.

A Government Agency’s investment in its staff, reduced costs for the taxpayer.

 

Bonus:
Apply this successful model to everything else
you do.

Case Study

And finally here’s Helen and Mel. the co-founders of First Class, Learning and Development. Mel’s a voracious networker and Helen’s the full-time trainer in their successful business partnership.

Helen already had an interest in delivering effective learning, so grabbed the opportunity to learn more about brain friendly methods. She came away from our 3-day workshop re-invigorated, read lots of books we suggested, and got off to a cracking start, implementing everything she’d learned.

Very quickly, she was getting the results we’d promised, and here’s what she said at the time:

“I would like to tell you about a real achievement today.  I have just done a half day programme titled ‘Dealing with difficult people’ - their title not mine!  This was for a sceptical and questioning bunch, but thanks to the brain friendly approach there were 100% rave reviews!” 

Enthused by the difference the brain friendly approach brings to learning, Helen then influenced Mel that the whole First Class team would benefit from introducing these memorable methods to their extensive training portfolio. And that’s exactly what happened – Mel and 10 of the First Class associate team then attended one of our events en masse.

And here’s what Mel fed back afterwards:

“The workshop was a real eye opener; the facilitation was superb; time flew by, well paced, fun and memorable.  I would recommend the approaches to anyone who is involved with learning, development or presentations.  The brain friendly approach will certainly be encouraged and developed within First Class to give our clients the best possible return on their investment.” 

And what they’ve now done is go the extra mile and embrace brain friendly ideas across their entire business – with immediate and positive results. Even their web designer joined the workshop!

Results

They’ve re-branded and changed their website.
They use brain friendly ideas in proposals, tenders and at presentations.
And get more business as a result.
They receive consistently excellent feedback from their training delivery.
And reliably achieve measurable workplace results for their customers.

Which, is (or should be!) the bottom-line for all of us who facilitate learning in others!

 

As well as the above case studies,
here’s what just a few more of our learners say …

"…high expectations … have been exceeded…"

"I had very high expectations of this course and they have been exceeded. Stella and Ann modelled superbly the way we would all like to deliver training."

Marie Whitefoot,
L & D Manager, Borough of Telford and Wrekin

 

"…Wow!Wow!Wow!..."

"Wow! Wow! Wow! When my head has stopped spinning I’ll be putting together some real 'break the mould' finance training.  Enormous value!"


Neil Clark, Management Accountant, Advance Housing

 

"…looking forward to implementing it all…"

"Ann and Stella live brain friendly learning! Their approach makes sense, makes the learning memorable, and can be applied to just about anything.  How refreshing to have enjoyed myself and learned so much, and now I’m looking forward to implementing it all."

Ann Howlett-Foster, former Training Manager,
Rural Development Service

 

"…fantastic learning experience…"

"Fantastic learning experience – you are doing important work."

Natalie, Leadership and Development Co-ordinator, Thames Valley Police

 

"…the whole course had been designed for me…"

"The style of delivery and facilitation was excellent. I felt very comfortable and included as though the whole course had been designed just for me. All my learning needs were met and more. Thank you so much for a wonderful 3 days. I can’t wait to start using the learning I acquired."

Sifiso, Proprietor, Steven Lodge (residential home for people with learning disabilities)

 

"…proves the techniques work…"

"I found myself answering things I didn’t know I’d learned – which just proves the techniques work!"

Tina, Business Coach, Total Coaching.

 

"…made a difference to my concentration …"

"After eating the brain friendly foods, I had been really surprised by how much I enjoyed them and how they really made a difference to my concentration in the afternoon (or was that the effect of BF training?). I found myself surprisingly riveted to this topic. I am liaising with our restaurant to come up with a ‘brain friendly’ buffet choice for training courses … watch this space!"

Tracey, Training Adviser, The Lifeboat College, RNLI.

 

"…much more than an enjoyable learning experience…"

"A superbly structured and very positive learning environment. An inspirational and highly effective workshop – much more than an enjoyable learning experience. Ann and Stella have made the science of training design and delivery into an art."

Richard, Regional Manager, Campaign for Learning.

 

"…for the first time…"

"For the first time I have understood some biology – hooray!"

Participant with dyslexia

 

"…Ann and Stella work fantastically as a team…"

"Love your methods and style. The learner centred approach is definitely one that I favour. I always appreciate the 'empowering supporter' viewpoint as opposed to 'directive leader', and I learnt lots and lots that I have never covered. Ann and Stella work fantastically together as a team and their personalities complement one another. Top marks in all areas from me and I am conscious that as a relatively new trainer this has provided me with an insightful taster and I just want to learn more and more!!! We covered immense ground and I’m still taking everything in - reflecting, evaluating and putting what I’ve learnt into practice ready to continue the learning cycle!!"
