Episode 32: The Art of Training, Teaching and Presenting, with Denise Roberts

Accomplished leadership trainer and coach Denise Roberts, founder of Playing to Win, joins Tom and Curtis to share how her perhaps unorthodox methods of presenting and teaching have allowed her to fortify a leading position as a premier leadership trainer, especially for emerging leaders. Denise comes to us by way of MichBusiness and the National Association of Business Resources, for which she leads multiple leadership training cohorts for emerging leaders throughout the year, known as Ignite Leadership Training's Jumpstart program. Join in to hear why Death by Powerpoint is no longer an option when presenting to groups, and follow along to adopt some new methodologies for presenting and training to better engage audiences. Be sure to consider her leadership training program to help "jump start" the leadership skills in your organization's next generation of leadership! Takeaways: PowerPoint in training and webinars often leads to information overload and lacks application. Effective trainings focus on learning by doing and encourage discussion and application of concepts. Different learners have different preferences, and it's important to cater to their needs. Young leaders are often hungry to learn and benefit from immersive and collaborative training experiences. Leadership and management are distinct but interconnected roles. Leadership focuses on understanding and empowering individuals, while management involves control and coordination of tasks. Not everyone is suited for managing people, but anyone can develop leadership skills. Some individuals may excel at coaching and supporting others without taking on managerial responsibilities. Generational differences in the workplace can be a source of conflict or a valuable opportunity for collaboration. It is important to recognize and appreciate the strengths and perspectives of each generation. Effective leadership training goes beyond providing information and emphasizes practical application and self-awareness.
