We provide yourmaterials, materials for the student, PowerPoint slides, and a takehome reference sheet for the student. You simply need to prepare andtrain!Best of all, our courseware packages are created in Microsoft Office and can be opened using anyversion of Word and PowerPoint. (Most other word processing and presentation programs supportthese formats, too.) This means that you can customize the content, add your logo, change the colorscheme, and easily print and e-mail training materials.How Do I Customize My Course?Customizing your course is easy. To edit text, just click and type as you would with any document. This isparticularly convenient if you want to add customized statistics for your region, special examples foryour participants’ industry, or additional information. You can, of course, also use all of your wordprocessor’s other features, including text formatting and editing tools (such as cutting and pasting).To remove modules, simply select the text and press Delete on your keyboard. Then, navigate to theTable of Contents, right-click, and click Update Field. You may see a dialog box; if so, click “Update entiretable” and press OK.(You will also want to perform this step if you add modules or move them around.)If you want to change the way text looks, you can format any piece of text any way you want. However,to make it easy, we have used styles so that you can update all the text at once. Corporate Training Materialwww.corporatetrainingmaterials.com
If you are using Word 97 to 2003, start by clicking the Format menu followed by Styles and Formatting.In Word 2007 and 2010 under the Home tab, right-click on your chosen style and click Modify. That willthen produce the Modify Style options window where you can set your preferred style options.For example, if we wanted to change our Heading 1 style, used for Module Titles, this is what we woulddo:Now, we can change our formatting and it will apply to all the headings in the document.For more information on making Word work for you, please refer to Word 2007 or 2010 Essentials byCorporate Training Materials. Corporate Training Materialwww.corporatetrainingmaterials.com
Materials RequiredAll of our courses use flip chart paper and markers extensively. (If you prefer, you can use a whiteboardor chalkboard instead.)We recommend that each participant have a copy of the Training Manual, and that you review eachmodule before training to ensure you have any special materials required. Worksheets are includedwithin the Appendix of the Instructor Guide and the participant’s Training Manual, and can bereproduced and used where indicated. If you would like to save paper, these worksheets are easilytransferrable to a flip chart paper format, instead of having individual worksheets.We recommend these additional materials for all workshops: Laptop with projector, for PowerPoint slides Quick Reference Sheets for students to take home Timer or watch (separate from your laptop) Masking tape Blank paperMaximizing Your Training PowerWe have just one more thing for you before you get started. Our company is built for trainers, bytrainers, so we thought we would share some of our tips with you, to help you create an engaging,unforgettable experience for your participants. Make it customized. By tailoring each course to your participants, you will find that your resultswill increase a thousand-fold.oUse examples, case studies, and stories that are relevant to the group.oIdentify whether your participants are strangers or whether they work together. Tailoryour approach appropriately.oDifferent people learn in different ways, so use different types of activities to balance itall out. (For example, some people learn by reading, while others learn by talking aboutit, while still others need a hands-on approach. For more information, we suggestExperiential Learning by David Kolb.)Make it fun and interactive. Most people do not enjoy sitting and listening to someone else talkfor hours at a time. Make use of the tips in this book and your own experience to keep your Corporate Training Materialwww.corporatetrainingmaterials.com
participants engaged. Mix up the activities to include individual work, small group work, largegroup discussions, and mini-lectures. Make it relevant. Participants are much more receptive to learning if they understand why theyare learning it and how they can apply it in their daily lives. Most importantly, they want toknow how it will benefit them and make their lives easier. Take every opportunity to tie whatyou are teaching back to real life. Keep an open mind. Many trainers find that they learn something each time they teach aworkshop. If you go into a training session with that attitude, you will find that there can be anamazing two-way flow of information between the trainer and trainees. Enjoy it, learn from it,and make the most of it in your workshops.And now, time for the training! Corporate Training Materialwww.corporatetrainingmaterials.com
IcebreakersEach course is provided with a wide range of interactive Icebreakers. The trainer can utilize anIcebreaker to help facilitate the beginning of the course, as it helps “break the ice” with theparticipants. If the participants are new to each other, an icebreaker is a great way to introduceeveryone to each other. If the participants all know each other it can still help loosen up theroom and begin the training session on a positive note. Below you will see one of theicebreakers that can be utilized from the Icebreakers folder. Corporate Training Materialwww.corporatetrainingmaterials.com
Icebreaker: Cartoon CharacterPURPOSETo get participants to examine themselves and to meet each other.MATERIALS REQUIRED 2 name cards for each person 1 3x5 index card for each person MarkersACTIVITYHave participants write their name on one name card and put it on. Then, ask participants to think of thecartoon character they think is most like them. Have them write the name of the cartoon character on theother name card.

When they sit back down, havethem place the Goal Card someplace visible in front of them to remind them of their goal.[INSTRUCTOR’S NOTE: the self identity and role model may well change during the class, and that’s fine.You now have some valuable insight into who your participants are and what leadership skills they mayalready have.] Corporate Training Materialwww.corporatetrainingmaterials.com

A man’s pride can be his downfall. He needsto learn when to turn to others for supportand guidance.Bear GryllsModule Two Why You Need a Life CoachMany people often mistake a life coach for a mental healthprofessional, such as a psychiatrist or a therapist. Thismisconception often leads people to believe they do not need alife coach since they feel as though nothing is wrong with theirmental health. However, a life coach is designed to helpimprove a person’s professional and personal life by workingwith them to achieve their goals.Difficulty Making Life DecisionsLife coaching is about encouraging and empowering the client in their personal andprofessional life. One of the biggest problems many people face is a difficulty to makelife decisions. Some may be minor, such as deciding to join a gym or to repaint thehouse, while other decisions can be major, such as a decision to start a business orchange careers. People have different reasons for being afraid to make decisions,whether they are scared the decision will be the wrong one, or that they may let themselves orsomeone else down with whatever they choose. While life coaches are not intended to make thedecisions for the client, they are meant to guide the client through the process of decision making, andinform them about their choices and the pros and cons of those decisions – which will enable the clientto work toward making their own choices.Estimated Time8 minutesTopic ObjectiveReview reasons for a life coach.Difficulty Making Life DecisionsTopic SummaryDiscuss why having difficulty making decisions can use a life coach.

Some people are unable toorganize and prioritize the different aspects of their life, including work and personalbusiness. When they cannot get these affairs in order, deadlines and timelines areoften missed or projects are forgotten altogether. A life coach can help their clienttake a look at everything that is happening in their lives and determine what is most important toaccomplish, and what they want to work in, or out, of their schedules. It also helps the client to feel lessoverwhelmed and more empowered to tackle what they need to get done in their own timeframe.Estimated Time7 minutesTopic ObjectiveReview benefits of prioritizing.Prioritizing Projects and TimelinesTopic SummaryDiscuss the benefits of organizing and prioritizing projects and timelines.Materials RequiredWorksheet 2: Prioritizing My TimePlanning ChecklistNoneRecommended ActivityComplete the worksheet individually.

Some, more than others, will need help finding ways to cope with thesesituations These types of situations can cause a large amount of anxiety and can put alot of pressure on a person – which usually causes them shut down and completelyavoid facing the problem. The goal of a life coach is to help the client focus on theproblem at hand and make them realize the options they have at their disposal. The focus goes back tomaking key decisions and prioritizing.

Lack of BalanceIt is important to have a healthy balance between our professional and personal lives– one should never overpower the other. But, with many people, finding the rightbalance that works for them is the hard part. Some people find they spend too muchtime in this personal life and ‘blow off’ their work responsibilities. Others are just theopposite in that they spend too much time at work and forget to pay attention totheir personal lives outside of the office. Life coaches know this is generally defined as a life balance - abalance between major aspects in our lives. When clients feel their life-balance is outweighed by onearea or another, they seek help from a life coach to make things more even. A life coach can use avariety of tools to help the client create organization in their life and ultimately create a plan of action tohelp them sort out their own life balance and what works best for them.Estimated Time7 minutesTopic ObjectiveReview how to determine a lack of balance in life.Lack of BalanceTopic SummaryDiscuss how life coaching can help a feeling of imbalance.Materials RequiredWorksheet 4: My Life-Work BalancePlanning ChecklistNoneRecommended ActivityComplete the worksheet individually.
