A corporate Trainer's Little Book of Wisdom

Does your training survive contact with the real world?

If you've ever stood in front of a room of people who are checking their emails, staring blankly at the screen, or wondering if they still have a job next week, you know the truth: Corporate training is messy.

We've all studied the theories. We've all seen and used Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. But here's the thing: Maslow never had to deliver a compliance workshop to a stressed-out sales team on a Friday afternoon. Traditional, rigid academic models often fall apart when faced with the unpredictable reality of the workplace.

A Corporate Trainer's Little Book of Wisdom is the antidote to dry, academic textbooks. It is a practical, "roll-up-your-sleeves" guide designed specifically for trainers, and anyone who needs to make learning stick in a corporate environment.

Introducing the PRIME Framework.

This book introduces PRIME - a flexible, dynamic approach that adapts to your learners, not the other way around. Through following the journey of Jordan, a trainer navigating the ups and downs of our profession, you'll be introduced tc the six core elements of impactful training:

• Purpose: moving beyond "learning objectives" to find what truly matters to your learners.
• Readiness: ensuring you, your learners, and your environment are actually prepared for success.
• Interaction: creating meaningful exchanges, not just forced "fun."
• Motivation: sparking the drive to learn, even in reluctant participants.
• Enabling & Support: ensuring the learning survives once they leave the room.
• Foundational Needs: fixing the invisible barriers (like physical comfort and psychological safety) that quietly kill engagement.

What's inside? This isn't a book to sit on a shelf; it's a toolkit to keep in your bag. You'll find:

• Real-world troubleshooting guides: What to do when the energy drops, the technology fails, or the sceptics take over.
• Reflective exercises: To help you evolve your own unique training style.
• Practical Templates: From "Purpose Planning" to "Readiness Checklists" that you can use for your very next session.
• 18+ downloadable templates

Training isn't just about delivering content; it's about enabling people to do their jobs better and happier. Whether you are delivering your first session or your five-hundredth, this book gives you the structure to turn "just another meeting" into a learning experience that makes a difference.
