The key to being a great facilitator does not lie solely in one’s communication skills or the ability to spout a great deal of information in the given time. This would not suffice to strengthen any skills or knowledge for the participants. In fact, trainers who suffer from diarrhoea of thought are precisely those who tend to bore the participants the most.
As behavioural trainers, your task is not to create storehouses of knowledge but powerhouses of excellence. Such excellence does not come from talent alone, but the right attitude. Only 10% of the time would you find that it is a problem of skill whereas 90% of the time it is a problem of will! As long as the mind has shut its doors to any kind of learning owing to die-hard habits, glue-like mindsets & concrete wall-like attitudes, no learning can take place, however interesting your session might be.
Incorporating scientific Psychometric Tests in your training is a comprehensive and interesting technique to open up participants’ minds to your training session. It is a sure fire method of providing participants with an insight into their powers and strengths and helping them embark on a journey of self-exploration and (win)sight.
The right psychometric tests will leave your participants amazed as they come face-to-face with their true self. This little innovation in your training pattern is proven to pay rich dividends by keeping your audience in rapt attention for the entire training as well as giving you a background of your learners’ needs, learning styles, competencies etc to help you facilitate better.
A single test reflects a certain aspect of an individual’s persona and can be compared to a magnifying glass. A battery of tests provides a kaleidoscopic view into the many colours of an individual’s persona by taking into account both heredity and environmental influences on his behaviour.
