Product Description

The Trainer′s Guide to Training

Most new trainers and presenters know all they need to know about their chosen subject. Unfortunately, few of them actually know how to present what they know. For more than a decade, Robert Jolles′s How to Run Seminars and Workshops has taught tens of thousands of people how to sell, teach, stand up, and deliver an effective training session on almost any subject in almost any setting.

This new Third Edition updates this classic guide for anyone who has to get up and move an audience. Just as he did in the book′s previous editions, Jolles–former head of Xerox′s world–renowned "train the trainer" program–shares proven, effective techniques for winning over an audience, holding their interest, conveying important information, and moving that audience to take action! For seasoned pros, this is an invaluable tool for becoming a world–class seminar and workshop leader. For novices, it′s a step–by–step self–teaching guide that provides the confidence and the techniques speakers need to survive and thrive in front of an audience.

Packed with straightforward, trustworthy advice, this reliable resource covers all the bases for today′s professional trainers and speakers, including research and preparation, questioning techniques, pacing, visual aids, evaluation and support, feedback, and more:

  • Creating your own seminar business
  • Recognizing different personalities and types of behavior
  • Training groups with diverse needs
  • On–site preparations
  • Maintaining the audience′s interest
  • The latest technology and visual aids
  • Giving feedback and coaching
  • Presenting your best self to the audience
  • Developing a training staff
  • And, most important, how to sell your message

Trusted by thousands of professional trainers for the latest tactics and practices in seminar and workshop leadership, How to Run Seminars and Workshops, Third Edition is the ultimate guide for anyone who makes a living sharing what they know with others.

Fabulous book!!! 17 Nov 1997

Format:Paperback
I have read a number of books on this topic but this one is outstanding! It not only informs, it entertains. I have never read a book that is so immediately useable. This has to be one of the best business books I have every purchased. Bravo!

Robert Jolles' How to Run Seminars and Workshops is well written and is presented in an easy and uncomplicated format. Jolles style is such that the reader is able to learn valuable tricks almost by accident and without feeling patronised. Indeed Jolles' style is both symplistic and complex. The beauty is that the author has made an obvious and extraordinary effort to make reading the book almost effortless. Here is a man who is willing and able to learn from all of his everyday life experiences. You get the feeling from reading the book that Jolles is probably one of the best trainers on the planet, yet he is no self publicist and posses great humility. Life is a lesson and Jolles is happy to learn from it. And learn. And learn.

By Rolf Dobelli TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
Developing the skill to conduct workshops and seminars requires a lot of time and effort, but it can lead to an exciting professional life and eventually pay huge dividends. Learning to gain an audience's rapt attention takes dedication and practice, but giving a seminar or workshop is a very effective way to sell your product, service or expertise. Robert L. Jolles offers tips for translating your special knowledge into a seminar or workshop presentation, from organizing your material to getting the right coaching to handling challenging characters from the audience. getAbstract recommends this useful guide; it's a quick course in Professional Skills 101.
