How To Engage Challenging Training Participants

Learn how to identify challenging training participants and apply strategies to improve the in-person or virtual training experience for all participants.

Have you ever led a training session where one person’s constant interruptions stalled your momentum? Or perhaps you have had participants who are constantly having side conversations and choose not to contribute to the training session.

Whether participants are arguing every point or quietly submitting expense reports on their laptop, challenging training participants don’t just test your patience; they can derail the learning experience for everyone.

Join Endurance Learning for this recorded webinar where we help you regain control of your in-person or virtual classroom. This session will help you identify a variety of challenging training participant types, the impact these participants can have on your learning environment, and provide you strategies to engage challenging participants, and convert them into a net positive on your training session.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

Identify common disruptive trainee behaviors.
Apply strategies that will help you address challenging training participants and help them contribute to and gain value from the training session.
