The Brainpower difference: How we present
What motivates adults to learn? Adults learn when they are actively involved and given the opportunity to share their experience and expertise.
People remember only 5% of what they hear in a lecture. So what can we do to make training more memorable?
Brainpower Training draws on research* which shows interactive discussion increases retention to 50%.
Our experienced and qualified facilitator tailors the workshop to your group by:
- triggering dialogue
- leading brainstorming exercises
- asking quality questions
- comparing case studies
These open-ended exercises help people discover for themselves what you want them to know.
* National Training Laboratories, Bethel, Maine, USA.
