Whether you’re preparing for a project or about to launch a new office-wide software system, leading a productive training session at your office or in an off-site hall rental requires organization. Here are some tips to help make yours a success.

3 Tips for Leading a Business Training Session

1. Take Advantage of Hall Rentals 

When you hold a training session in the office you work in every day, participants are more likely to become bored. Hosting your training in a hall rental off-site gives participants the chance to switch up their daily office routine, which will boost excitement about the session.

2. Come Prepared

Besides preparing talking points, PowerPoint slides, and training materials, think about the setup you’ll have to do before the session. Arrive early so you’ll have time to get comfortable in the space, connect your computer, and organize presentation materials and handouts. If you’re leading the session in a hall rental you’re unfamiliar with, survey the room beforehand so there won’t be any unexpected surprises, such as broken presentation equipment or fading markers for the dry-erase board.

3. Encourage Engagement

While office training sessions may not be known for covering the most scintillating of topics, you can still excite and engage your audience. People are more attentive learners when they can actively participate in the process rather than simply listen to a speech. Activities like role-playing, Q&A sessions, and team building exercises will go a long way toward helping your trainees retain the information they need.
