Three Easy Ways to Elevate Your Training

Image
If you're reading this, you already know a thing or two about tech, training, and HRD. Feeling ready to step up your game? Try these three tips to turn your current run-of-the-mill training into a standout session.  #1 A picture is worth a thousand words, literally. (Well, almost literally.) It's going to be hard, but it's time to let go of wordy PowerPoint presenations. You can still provide detailed handouts (or save a tree and go digital!), but if you're presenting on-screen, try replacing text with images, screenshots, infographics, charts, or videos.
