The book combines the two, offering many examples and studies in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, instructional design and training the trainer. You will find lots of examples and studies in the book that provide insights that may not be obvious but that lead to important design decisions. They will change forever how you think about training design and delivery and help you design courses that your learners will love.

Download or read book Training of Trainers Program written by Ibrahim H. Hussney and published by Ibrahim H. Hussney. This book was released on with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our movement reflects our attitudes or our character, and any change that occurs to them, and the pattern of our standing, sitting, or movement reflects a lot about what we plan to do. Body language is one of the reliable sources for collecting information regarding the characteristics, attitudes, and intentions of people. The language of the eyes is one of the most important languages of the body, as it conveys important messages about our competence and self-confidence as trainers, eyes are the window through which the human mind sees events, and visual contact is establishing communication between your eyes and the eyes of the person/people you talk to and interact with verbally, and more you develop visual contact better, you left a more positive impression of yourself, and you were able to build a better relationship with those you spoke to. Gesture is one of the elements of body language, and it is a form of non-verbal communication or non-voice communication in which visual physical movements work to deliver certain messages, either to replace or be associated with speech. Gestures include the movement of hands, faces, or other parts of the body, which allow individuals to communicate a variety of feelings and thoughts, such as approval, objection, gratitude ...etc. The tone of voice and pitch play a crucial role in supporting the trainer when presenting the program and communicating information to the trainees. In online sessions particularly, auditory communication is considered one of the sensitive matters that both the trainer and the trainee must pay close attention to it. The skill of deep listening is the ability to receive the message and interpret it accurately in the communication process and it is the main key to effective communication between the trainer and the trainees. Without the ability to listen well, the message to be delivered becomes incomprehensible and leads to stopping the communication process.
