The key to training success is careful planning and preparation
To have a successful training session, you need to promote the program to top management and prepare training materials, the training space, trainers, and trainees. Preparing trainees beforehand is just one element in training preparation, but an important one. Prepare trainees by sharing a session outline or agenda, which helps ease any anxiety and gets them thinking about the topic. You can also distribute pre-session activities, like fun and engaging questions or scenarios, and an expectation questionnaire to customize the session to the audience.
