Not always easy to train adults that is for sure. Where I worked most training was done in what they called chunking, small bits building on past bits. I can not imagine what it would be like to train people that I have never met nor know what the company culture was like. It was hard enough training a bunch of yahoo's I already knew.

It's crazy how close 2023 is.  I was just talking to someone else the other day and we were commenting on how Thanksgiving is right around the corner for us in the US.  I honestly hate training adults.  They are so much worse than the students.  They talk to each other the whole time and don't pay attention at all.  They are disrespectful.  It's funny because I work with teachers and I know that they would never allow the same behavior in their classrooms. You must have the patience of Job!

It's true, training adults can be difficult. My husband does this for a living, and the stories he has...

While each student thinks they know what they need in training, they often try to skip the fundamentals that help them understand what they need to learn. That's where good training comes in, knowing where to start so the student gets what they need.

Global sales conference! That's a term I haven't heard for a long time, due to cost cutting and COVID.

Was gonna say, you guys are planning way ahead for 2023, but looking at calender, it only two full months away. It's so scary how time flies.

For years I have trained for work to adults in the oil industry in my country and I have facilitated at all levels to the organization I represented, besides being an enriching experience for all, the motivation factor of achievement (individual) is a determining factor for group cohesion, at least to achieve that discipline is the common thread to reach (to achieve) business.


Adults, whenever we are as facilitators or students, the inner child becomes restless and restless in many of them; I would say that a child behaves even better.

I am sure that everything will go very well. Make small groups if you are not going to have someone to assist you so that you can personalize the training with some strategies (group dynamics) to establish the human connection in order to achieve the overall objective of the workshop...it is my suggestion...it is just my humble opinion.

Motivating people into decision making, selecting a course of action to reach a rewarding outcome some will fly while others flail. Not an easy task balancing out workshops, however you have had time in the field and will fathom a ways to the end.

Watch your workload always, corporate companies are quick to slide work onto long standing employees without second thought, if one accepts it auto-magically is par for the course. 

>and often, people don't even know what they want, let alone what they need. All they know is that they want something that is tailored to their expertise, high-value, doesn't waste their time, while keeping them entertained and engaged.

I think this is due to the form of assignment. In this case, the workshop participants are assigned by the company to participate in it. There is becoming a blur between their needs and the goals they follow.

Thankfully, those who participate meet you as their coach and mentor. You really get to pay attention to their needs and try to meet what the participants need and what the company needs.

Your two decades of experience have brought you to a position as a person who transfers knowledge and skills well. But you said that you have been a bit "blunt" lately. Ha.. Ha.. 

Have you prepared a regeneration that will become like you one day, even exceed your ability as your successor cadre, Sir?

>I will be hosting/ facilitating/ presenting a full day of sessions on two of the three days, and weirdly, I don't have support. All the other groups have two facilitators, so it is probably going to be a little difficult. 

That will be really a difficult task for you.. Why not request for a support to release the stress from your end 

> I have been training adults for over two decades now and one thing stands out, they are far fussier than children and often, far more entitled. At least in the workplace.


It seemed an extreme reality.  The reason is that I also trained in a training institute for one year and we are all jobbers.  Everyone here is playful and more playful than even children.  It sounds surprising but true.

>People don't even know what they want, let alone what they need.

I've come across a lot of people who have made a lot of mistakes due to the fact that they don't know how to place the most pressing needs before other things. 

When you don't place your needs and wants in order of their importance, you will find yourself counting loss at the end of the day.

>As said, I am in the phase of defining goals for the workshops

You sure did 👍.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece with us 🤗🤗🤗.

> I will be hosting/ facilitating/ presenting a full day of sessions on two of the three days, and weirdly, **I don't have support.** All the other groups have two facilitators, so it is probably going to be a little difficult.

That's usually the heavy cross to drag along the way & bear stoically by *efficient* people. ¿Isn't it?

> Knowing their current challenges, I think I have a good idea of what to do with them, but meeting their needs doesn't necessarily mean meeting their wants, and often, people don't even know what they want, let alone what they need.

It was a useful post to motivate people and motivate people. We thank you.

>This distribution of responsibilities is effective and efficient..

That's why I do for my team. I always encourage them to take risk and responsibility about what transaction they do.

> The challenge is though, which goals are more important, those of the company, or those of the participants? Because sometimes, they don't align.

Or rather often. Many people do a job, which they do not like. They do it only because of necessity. Because they have to do it in order to be able to buy food and drink, and pay the monthly bills. Many people live and work like this.

Workshops: clash of egos, make new friends, or good network

Companies: survive even without former superstar 

Work: nice to have became expected
