Tips to Transfer Learnings

Keep the following tips in mind when conducting the training. You may wish to review these tips

and incorporate them into your session planning.

1. Adults learn when they feel they need to learn.Show the participants how this session will benefi t them in their jobs and at home.

2. Adults learn through practical application.Use the exercises found in this Leader Guide so that the participants can apply the concepts

in a practical context. Also, provide reinforcement tools such as the book The Leadership

Pill™ and the participant workbook to enhance learning from this session. Consider using the

online self assessment or the 360-degree feedback version of the Foundations of Leadership

Assessment as session prework (go to http://www.kenblanchard.com/areas/fl a.cfm for

information).

3. Adults learn by solving realistic problems.Analyze real work situations during the session to create participant buy in and engagement.

People will learn more, and more easily, if the content is relevant to their work.

4. Adults learn in an informal environment.Design your training room to be informal, if possible. Try to avoid classroom-style seating.

If appropriate, encourage participants to wear casual clothing. Encourage discussion and

interaction that will allow participants to feel comfortable.

5. Adults learn by different training methods.Vary your training methods: combine discussions, roleplaying, case studies, self-evaluations,

and action planning in your training session. By using a variety of methods, you will reinforce

your message and promote participant involvement.

6. Transfer of learning can be determined by follow-up.Follow-up methods are crucial when determining the success of training. Feedback from your

participants’ managers, surveys, or follow-up training sessions can help you evaluate the extent

to which the key learnings have been transferred and are being used on the job.
