No, but I absolutely love it when they put in an amazing performance. Selfishly it is vindication for me to see all the skills and techniques I have taught being put into practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the real buzz is seeing how delighted they are with what they have achieved in a short space of time. \u201cI just feel so confident, I could REALLY see that they were learning\u201d said one of them afterwards with a huge grin on her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So many of the final training sessions are excellent but the ones that truly make my heart soar are the ones which are completely transformed from the first sessions I see. So many experienced trainers are basically delivering presentations \u2013 telling and showing. These trainers need new skills, but more fundamental is discovering their passion to help others develop; being open to changing the way they do things; and putting their learners at the heart of everything they do. At Happy we call this Learner-Focused Training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Demonstrating new skills under pressure takes a lot of nerve and a positive state of mind. To help the group prepare for their assessment we discussed the state triangle. Of course as a facilitator you can also use this to think about creating the right state in your learners. There are three key factors affecting your state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a facilitator your&nbsp;<strong>FOCUS<\/strong>&nbsp;must be on the learners and what\u2019s in it for them.&nbsp;<strong>LANGUAGE<\/strong>&nbsp;is not only about the words you use out loud but also the voice in your head. Positive self-talk can build your resilience in any situation, our group thought about words or short phrases that made them feel good. Finally,&nbsp;<strong>PHYSIOLOGY<\/strong>&nbsp;is all about what your body language tells your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t already watched it, check out Amy Cuddy\u2019s brilliant TED talk\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/amy_cuddy_your_body_language_shapes_who_you_are\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2018Your Body Language shapes who you are\u2019<\/a>\u00a0to find out about quick power poses that can give you a welcome performance boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before their training sessions I noticed each of my delegates nip to the loo to do their power pose and positive self-talk and when they came back they were firing on all cylinders! Not only did they all pass but 75% with Merit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Whether you are a facilitator, learner or simply someone that needs to be on top form, take a moment to think about your Focus, Language and Physiology.
