Educating While Black

We've all sat in the professional training that makes us scroll through our phones, run to the restroom, check our emails, and make our grocery list. I'm sure the vision you have for the type of trainer you'd like to be isn't described as redundant, monotonous, or impersonal on the end of session feedback form. To be a dynamic facilitator, you need to offer dynamic experiences. Here are 5 adjustments you can make at your next training that will leave a lasting positive impression on your participants.
