Train-the-Trainer Synchronous Workshop

-Project Overview-

This project involved the collaborative design of a synchronous Train-the-Trainer workshop focused on strengthening interpersonal and communication skills in a corporate environment. The training was designed for internal facilitators who would deliver the session to employees in a remote work setting.

The final deliverables included:

A comprehensive slide deck

A detailed facilitator guide

A structured participant guide

Interactive breakout activities

Reflection prompts and discussion scenarios

The workshop emphasized practical application of interpersonal skills, communication theory, behavior cycles, and rapport-building strategies.

-Goals & Objectives-

By the end of the training, participants were able to:

Analyze interpersonal behavior cycles (attitude → behavior → impact)

Apply language patterns to build rapport and improve clarity

Strengthen communication skills for professional settings

Identify verbal, non-verbal, written, and visual communication methods

Improve engagement and collaboration in remote work environments

The workshop was intentionally structured to move from self-awareness to applied communication strategies.

-Resources & Tools Used-

PowerPoint Slide Deck (60+ slides)

Facilitator Guide (structured delivery notes and timing cues)

Participant Guide (reflection prompts and activities)

Breakout Room Activities (synchronous engagement)

Scenario-based discussion prompts

NLP-based Meta Model language frameworks

Remote support framework for distributed teams

-Process & Implementation-
1. Collaborative Design

This was a team-based development project where we:

Divided content development responsibilities

Met regularly to align learning objectives

Ensured instructional consistency across materials

Reviewed each iteration for cohesion and clarity

The training was designed for synchronous delivery, so pacing, facilitator prompts, and engagement strategies were critical components.

2. Instructional Strategy

We incorporated adult learning principles by including:

Self-reflection prompts

Real-world scenario discussions

Breakout room collaboration

Guided behavior analysis

Language pattern application exercises

The workshop included two structured modules:

Lesson 1: Interpersonal Skills & Behavior Cycles

Emotional awareness

Attitude-behavior relationships

Meta Model language patterns

Rapport-building strategies

Lesson 2: Communication Skills

Eight components of communication

Methods of communication (verbal, non-verbal, written, visual)

Active listening techniques

Emotional intelligence and professionalism

Ethical and respectful communication

Interactive discussions and reflective exercises reinforced content application.

3. Train-the-Trainer Focus

Because this was a Train-the-Trainer model, we:

Structured slides with facilitation cues

Designed discussion timing guides

Included activity instructions

Ensured objectives were measurable

Built in engagement checkpoints

This approach ensured consistent delivery quality across facilitators.

-Outcomes & Impact-

This workshop design provides:

A scalable corporate communication training solution

Increased facilitator confidence

A structured framework for improving interpersonal dynamics

Tools for strengthening remote employee engagement

Clear integration of theory into workplace practice

The training addresses real organizational needs such as collaboration, emotional intelligence, and communication breakdown prevention.

-Why I Am Highlighting This Work-

This project demonstrates my ability to:

Design synchronous corporate training

Collaborate effectively on instructional teams

Apply behavioral and communication theory to real-world contexts

Create facilitator-ready materials

Design for engagement in remote environments

Structure learning for transfer and workplace application

It highlights my capability to build not just content — but complete instructional systems, including facilitation support, learner materials, and scalable delivery frameworks.

This work reflects readiness for roles in corporate learning & development, professional development, and organizational training environments.
