I’ve written in the past about how Haiku (a form of poetry written in three lines, the first having five syllables, the second having seven, the third having five) can serve as a fun, effective icebreaker. You can have people introduce themselves or write about the topic at hand using this structure.
In today’s blog post, I offer some general observations about training, all written in Haiku.
Some conversations
Outside of the training room
Lead to deep learning
Sessions need break time
So our brains can digest stuff
And bladders empty
I like my trainer
I like my fellow trainees
I learn from them all
Dry erase markers
Should be used on a whiteboard
Not on the flipchart
Sometimes I email
Sometimes I pay attention
Nobody does both
Learning objectives
When written with intention
Will write your lesson
Sometimes people like
When I put on a jacket
With silver sequins
Do you have some general observations about training? I’d love to read them – in Haiku form – in the comment section!
