The Accelerated Trainer

'Learning is both easy and enjoyable, it is only undeveloped teaching styles that lead us to believe otherwise.' Lex McKee

Ask anyone who has been consumed with a passion for a hobby, and they'll tell you how much they have learned - effortlessly. It is only our own self-imposed learning hang-ups and poorly developed teaching styles that lead us to believe otherwise.

The Accelerated Trainer opens with this premise: both the learner and the trainer need to overcome their hang-ups, and abandon any psychological baggage before they start. From there, the author goes on to cover the entire training process, from planning and preparation, through anticipation and delivery, to action-planning and follow up.

The book is careful to practice what it preaches: there are pictures and Mind Maps for those who are very visual; analogies and anecdotes for the intrapersonal, as well as a simple seven phase structure and plenty of powerful models if you like things structured and logical. All are designed to help you learn and start applying accelerated training techniques in as short a time as possible, whatever the background of the people with whom you may be working.

The author's light-hearted style makes this book an easy and enjoyable read, and a wonderful starting point for any trainer or communicator who wants to reflect on current best practice and gain inspiration for future transformation of their message.
