From the mind of master trainer Bob Pike comes a brand new training resource! Trainers are becoming performance troubleshooters: one-on-one trainers who go straight to the source to investigate problems and suggest solutions. This book is the first guide for trainers adopting this method.
In today's workplace, there's less time and money, and there are more expectations. That means fewer formal training workshops -- but more job performance requirements. Trainers can fill the gap with one-on-one training, forging a strong bond between teacher and learner and ensuring that training is transferred to the job. As the authors point out, many standard "lecture hall" training methods still work in one-on-one -- settings, and they give guidance on how to apply these techniques one-on-one including role-plays, case studies, videos, games, and field trips.
