Train the Trainer: Designing and running internal workshops

Proper design of a workshop is a key factor in its quality.

Adjusting the content to the needs of the participants helps build up motivation. Ensuring a high enough level of psychological safety maximizes their participation in the learning process.

The proper planning of specific training modules creates a structure which helps with remembering new knowledge and a practical implementation of the skills trained.
