Every trainer offers a unique set of gifts for every group of learners they meet. That uniqueness is personal, like a signature, and adds deeper meaning and purpose to the work they do. In this session, you will work with personas to help you accelerate the discovery process, identify natural strengths, and uncover your signature style. Learning Objectives After participating in this session, you will be able to: • Describe your strengths and weaknesses as a trainer using the characteristics and traits of personas. • Adapt the strengths of your unique training style to better support your learners.
