Training Industry Magazine - January/February 2021 - 35
BE PREPARED TO BE
SURPRISED.
" Be prepared to be surprised, " is a central
theme and quote from the 2017 film " Dan
in Real Life. " It's a statement about life that
also applies to virtual training. Preparation
is key in a virtual space. Winging it is not
an option. Time tracking is key and shows
respect for learners. Careful design and
seamless transitions throughout the
program will create a pleasant experience.
Yet, despite any amount of preparation,
technology will always throw curve balls.
Be prepared to flex, adapt, pivot and
problem-solve in the moment. When
problems arise, the demeanor of the
facilitator and producer will influence
how learners react. The more matter of
fact and calm the facilitator and producer
are, the better learners will react. Similarly,
not calling attention to the technology
challenge will minimize it. It is in everyone's
best interests not to dwell on it but instead
return focus to the learning at hand.
There will always be challenges,
but there will also be great, smooth
sessions. Fantastic programs can be
facilitated, empowering learners and
accomplishing mission-critical business
initiatives. But, if the pandemic has
taught us anything, it's that the truly
important and impactful things in life
happen outside of work hours.
Conducting a pre-session technology
test with learners can help assuage
insecurities about joining a meeting
on a new platform, as can opening the
session room 30 minutes early.

When stress escalates, remember
to keep things in perspective.
