September Monthly Event

                           Guest speaker: Bob Lucas

                                  Tapping the Brain  

In this interactive presentation, you will explore a variety of creative
strategies for getting people engaged and out of their seats.
Through a series of demonstrations, discussions, and activities,
you will experience the power of creative learning.

Adults typically prefer involvement and activity in their learning
process.Much of this can be traced back to childhood learning
when we learned by doing -- crawling on the ground, getting dirty
and having fun. Unfortunately, many learning and performance
professionals are afraid to try techniques that are out of the
"norm," such as using games, toys, incentives, props and
whatever else they can translate into a learning concept.

Attend this presentation and you will be able to:

  •  Facilitate creative training programs that help induce behavior
     Change and are FUN;
  •  Better help learners gain, retain, recall and use what they 
     experience;
  •  Increase interaction with learners;
  •  Create memorable techniques for adding excitement and
     sizzle to
     your training programs so that learners will want to keep
     coming back.
