Participants learn skills to understand and develop their true performance potential through a wide variety of educational learning styles including: Lecture (L): Because the programs are mainly participatory on-line, less than 10% of the time is in lecture format. The lectures are used to explore and discuss different concepts and topics. One-on-One Exercises (OO): Several times during the workshop participants will have an opportunity to work with a partner and have discussions around topics presented on Google docs. These exercises have structured formats and specific areas of focus. Small Group Exercises (SG): Periodically throughout the workshop participants will meet with 3-6 other participants. These meetings may be informal discussions or structured around specific topics. Often times including group presentations and/or role plays. Visualizations (V): This is an effective method to harness energy and channel it into a productive, creative force by utilizing PowerPoint presentations, wall charts, flip charts and kinesthetic objects for the adult learner. Participant Workbooks (PW): The Participant workbook offers illustrative examples of the course that allows participants to practice skills and develop action plans for the strategies taught. These tangible take aways are reference tools for combining development resources with real-world experiences which can be used immediately following the workshop. Technical requirements: For online discussions and group precipitation and project report outs you will need access to a Web graphic browser with JAVA and JavaScript capabilities such as Internet Explorer 6 or 7, or Mozilla Firefox.
