2024-07-18 10:00 - 16:00 | IAC, 145 West 30th St 12th Floor, New York, NY, 10001, United States

People are motivated by knowing “why” something is important. It helps in making decisions and creates urgency in completing a task. In our field, why we do what we do is important. It is the organization’s overall mission. But the mission must be translated to staff in a way that helps inspire and motivate. Knowing the why keeps people motivated. It also helps promote retention. This training will focus on how to help staff understand the “why” in what we do. We will discuss current techniques that managers can incorporate in training and developing staff and in motivating performance focused on quality results. Asking “why” today is more important than it ever has been.

It can be difficult to involve staff in an all-day training where you must maintain momentum for a full eight hours and convey the importance of the topic at hand effectively. There may be a lot of material to cover, and effective engagement is critical. Simultaneously, the rise of virtual trainings in the wake of COVID has made us have to rethink the training process for which there was no precedent. Please join us as we explore how to effectively reach your audience and keep them interested in your subject matter and motivated to learn so staff can develop effective skills to utilize with the people to whom they provide supports.
· Training/Workshop Objectives:
o Maintaining consistent and sustained audience attention
o Five different ways people learn and tools to reach your audience
o Instructor Best Practices
o Virtual Trainings Options
· Target Audience: All full-time or part-time instructors who will be providing educational services to staff who work in the I/DD industry.
