TRAINING STUDIES COURSES [TS] Presented by David Lazear BACK		The Training Studies Courses are specifically designed to help professional trainers, presenters, consultants, and facilitators understand applications of contemporary brain research (including multiple intelligences - MiQ! to their profession. The findings about how the brain learns best challenge almost all of our previous assumptions about learning and how it actually occurs. Once trainers, presenters, consultants, and facilitators understand the fundamentals of the human brain and human learning, they can design events which create an optimal learning situation which will meet the unique learning needs of every participant. MiQ provides hundreds of strategies for using A Different Kind of Smart! to create “A Different Kind of Training” which accelerates and enhances participants’ learning.
PRE-REQUISITE FOR TS COURSES: TS:1 MiQ & Communication Never be boring again and have them begging for more!

This seminar exposes ten modern training myths and reveals a different kind of training based on the Eight Kinds of Smart. It provides a set of 120 teaching and learning SmartStrategies for creating “multimodal” training events. Whether you’re a manager, CIO, a professional trainer, consultant, or group facilitator, you need to learn how to increase the power and impact of any information you share with others. MORE
TS:2A Planning “Multimodal” Eventfulness Reach Everyone, Every Time - Guaranteed! BACK		Have you ever been conducting a training or making a presentation and you realized you weren’t reaching everyone; but, you weren’t sure what to do to change what you were doing? Not everyone learns in the same way. If your training or presentations are “monomodal” this will continue to happen often. This seminar provides you with in-depth experience in using the MiQ Training System. You’ll learn the exact process for incorporating the Eight Kinds of Smart into your trainings, presentations, consulting, or facilitation. The core of the seminar is the MiQ SmartStrategies 120 specific teaching and learning strategies. You’ll learn a variety of ways to apply these invaluable strategies to your actual presentation material or process.
TS:2B Principles of Dynamic Persuasion Move People From Where They Are to Where You Want Them to Be! BACK		What if you knew how to speak in such a way that it profoundly influenced others thoughts and actions without force, coercion, or manipulation? What if people actually wanted to be persuaded by you? No matter what the content and process of your training, presenting, consulting, or facilitating, at its core you’re hoping to persuade people to change. This seminar is based on extensive research into the psychology of persuasion. It presents ten principles which, when applied, will make you a dynamic persuader. Through practical exercises, you’ll learn how to apply the principles of dynamic persuasion so you and your information have long-term influence on your participants.
TS:2C Brain-Based Teaching and Learning Teach in the Way the Brain Learns and You’ll be Unstoppable! BACK		Humanity today knows more about the human brain, how it works, and how to help it function optimally than has ever been known before. The brain thrives on novelty. It shuts down under stress. It has at least two very different ways it processes information. The seminar provides an experiential overview of 12 principles research has shown make for a “brain-compatible” environment. How you apply these principles makes the critical difference in creating a training environment that fosters high-level creativity and motivation. No trainer, serious about his or her participants’ learning can afford to ignore this research.
TS:3A Adult Learning and Transfer Make Your Learning Last “Where the Rubber Hits the Road”! BACK		The dictionary defines transfer as “moving someone (or something) from one place to another.” In the case of training, this involves moving the learning from a training session to life beyond the training. But usually this does not happen automatically. This seminar provides an in-depth look at the transfer of learning process by presenting a five-staged model of transfer. You’ll learn how to recognize where your participants are in their “transfer-ability” and you’ll receive a set of strategies for helping them to increase the transfer of what you’re presenting. Some experts believe that only when people make transfer have they really learned!
TS:3B Higher-Order Teaching and Learning Make Learning More Interesting, More Memorable, and More Applicable! BACK		For the most part, when we were in school, we were taught how NOT to learn. Learning is not about memorizing information and spitting it back on demand. It is not about getting the right answers on a test. It is not about giving a teacher what he or she wants. Learning is a fantastic, complex phenomenon that involves many, many levels of thinking. This seminar takes you through a taxonomy of cognitive abilities and shows you how to move participants in a training or presentation from the most basic level of learning (facts, figures, definitions, and statistics), to the process level (under-standing relationships and dynamics), to the higher-order level where one can synthesize, integrate, and apply information which has been learned. You’ll get a template for analyzing the “thinking level” of your presentations and learn strategies for taking them higher.
TS:3C MiQ Presentation Skills Supercharge Your Planning - Supercharge Your Presentations! BACK		It has been said that the success or failure of any training or presentation long happens long before you are actually “on stage”. The planning you do prior to the training session or presentation determines what will happen and what kind of experience it will be for your participants. This seminar takes you through four distinct models for preparing unforgettable presentations. You’ll work with your actual material and learn how to create examples and illustrations which speak to everyone in the group. You’ll learn a process for creating a compelling lecture. You’ll learn how to orchestrate a training session which moves people to action. You’ll learn how to lead great discussions. No professional presenter should be without the tools provided in this seminar!
