Presenter vs. Facilitator -- Which are YOU???
Are you a Trainer or a Facilitator? Does it make a difference?
I was partnered with a woman for a week who labeled herself as a “Motivational Speaker”. At the end of the day mid-week she asked me in the car; “What’s the difference between a trainer and a facilitator?” My answer was; “A trainer believes that when they are speaking learning is taking place. A facilitator believes that when the learner is talking learning is taking place.” She looked at me with complete confusion. She couldn’t comprehend the difference.
During this session, we will explore:
As we work through this session, the topic will be both facilitated and trained so you can see the difference.
UPDATE: Due to the COVID-19 Situation in the County, it has been decided to move this meeting to a Zoom Virtual environment to keep everyone safe. We hope you will join us for this meeting!!
