Your Fix-It Guide to Training When you need to repair an appliance on
the fritz, you can consult the instruction manual. But if you're stuck
when designing or facilitating training, what resource can you turn to
for solutions to your problem? Part troubleshooting guide, part
introduction to training design and delivery, Troubleshooting for
Trainers delivers in-the-moment fixes and longer-term solutions for
common challenges at every stage of the learning and development
process. Pull it out when you're in a predicament, flip to the related
challenge listed in the table of contents, and find some immediate
relief. Better yet, use it to discover tips and strategies that will
help you proactively avoid the crises new trainers face. Covering more
than 40 challenges, the book offers solutions for when: - you feel a
lack of personal and professional credibility - training isn't well
regarded - you don't have enough resources - you have minimal learning
design expertise - you're uncertain about measurement and reporting
metrics - live training surprises throw you for a loop - you encounter
challenging participants. Perfect for the busy trainer, each chapter
briefly describes a challenge for trainers, offers a series of solutions
for overcoming it, and includes some resources to go deeper about the
topic. Job aids and sample worksheets accompany the solutions. "If only
I knew this when I was starting out." Experienced trainers often express
this sentiment later in their careers. Why wait? The next time you're at
a training impasse, troubleshoot your way out.
