Key practical skills covered in this course.  

Skill 1 - Understanding Exercise Fundamentals  

Adults thrive when they can actively apply new knowledge, not just absorb information passively. Experiential exercises transform traditional learning by creating dynamic, hands-on environments where participants can immediately put concepts into practice. This approach not only accelerates understanding but also boosts retention and real-world application. While these exercises require greater engagement and thoughtful reflection, they empower adults to turn learning into meaningful action, driving both personal growth and business success.

Skill 4 - How to Facilitate Powerful Exercises
Facilitation is a critical driver of exercise success. Effective facilitation sets the stage for collaborative thinking, creative problem-solving, and shared action—empowering participants to strengthen their crisis response skills together. Rather than dictating outcomes, well-facilitated exercises create an environment where meaningful results naturally emerge through group engagement and interaction

Skill 5 – How to Debrief an Exercise      

A debrief is not about immediately solving problems; instead, it extends the learning process by helping participants reflect on their experiences. Through structured discussion, the debrief identifies and documents strengths, gaps, and areas for improvement in response and recovery efforts. This process also generates actionable recommendations for refining strategies, reallocating resources, and enhancing future plans, ensuring continuous growth and readiness

Skill 6 – How to Follow-up an Exercise     

Following up after an exercise is crucial for driving ongoing improvement and organizational maturity. Despite the significant investment of time, energy, and resources, it’s easy to lose momentum once the exercise concludes. This skill will equip you with a straightforward approach to maintain consistent follow-up, ensuring that the insights gained translate into meaningful, lasting results aligned with your goals

Skill 7 – How to Conduct Powerful Virtual Exercises       

Many people naturally prefer the energy and connection of in-classroom training over yet another virtual meeting. Like you, I never imagined delivering hundreds of hours of virtual training, webinars, and courses from my home office. But virtual learning is now an essential part of our landscape—and it’s here to stay. Embrace this shift, invest time in preparation, sharpen your skills, and you’ll be able to design and facilitate powerful, engaging exercises that resonate just as effectively in the virtual space
