Joining
Some joining tasks by type
Prior to joining us on the Train the Trainer programme it is worth taking time
to prepare. There are different ways in which you can do this. Here are some
different approaches.
1. Academic preparation
Pre-reading
You can go to the essays we provide by clicking on Readings
or, alternatively obtain any of the recommended book
list. The books are eclectic and chosen to reflect the
different interests of our trainers.
Pre-writing
Prior to joining it may be of value to record some of your professional insights
about your training and development role in writing. This could be recorded
in the form of a personal log. It would be useful for you during the three-day
programme and for your subsequent personal growth.
2. Self-assessment
Questionnaire, Learner profile or inventory
Should you have access to profiling tools such as self-assessment questionnaires
you may find it of value to profile before and after. A good immediate source
of self-assessments is to be found in Who Are You? 101 Ways of Seeing Yourself
by Malcolm Godwin, described in our Books section under Train the Trainer
Analysis of present perceived strengths and weaknesses,
areas for development
Analysing your own perceived strengths and weaknesses and what you believe
are your areas for development is valuable. You can do so against our Domain
descriptors. Click Orientation to find out more.
Match against competency list
Many participants in our development programmes have job descriptions which
are defined against competencies. Bring these with you so that you can re-consider
the competencies in the light of the work we do.
3. Transfer
Identify and pre-prepare a real issue
There will be lots of opportunities to work on live issues. We will consider
case studies and real scenarios but bringing your own makes the activity
genuinely meaningful
Focus on a research topic
It may be that you have a research topic with which you are already involved.
Bring the materials you have collected and benefit from sharing your work
with others on the programme.
Focus on a set of personal or professional outcomes
By focussing on your own outcomes you can gain a great deal. Our staff will
be able to offer tutoring against your own development plans during and after
the programme.
4. Transfer and effect
Agree a focus with a line manager
It may be that you have arrived at our programme by negotiation with your line
manager. In which case it may be worth agreeing a specific focus for your
work beforehand and for follow up afterwards.
Brief and de-brief
Brief a line manager, colleague, mentor or critical friend prior to your attendance.
Encourage them to ask purposeful and challenging questions. Arrange to do
exactly the same afterwards. Alite Ltd can help you in this process. Click Coaching for
further details.
