ELITE TRAINER MASTERCLASS

Elite Trainer Masterclass is an intensive and enjoyable program comprising of 6 days of content spread over an 8 week period. A dedicated group of individuals who are not new to their profession will come together to master the essential skills, develop the vital qualities and obtain the principal knowledge characteristics of the world's most influential and powerful communicators.

Since this program was first designed and delivered as "Training to Train" to over 2000 people in the 1990s, the technology involved with precision communication needed to influence and create change in other people has accelerated. The Elite Trainer Masterclass has been updated, modified and refined by its creator Dr Stephanie Burns, who has spent the past 36 years studying adult learning and human behaviour and is coming out of 'training retirement' to deliver this program for the first time in 10 years.

This is not your average program. A successful communicator and trainer is not defined by their ability to use visual aids or 'flavour of the month' techniques. Dr Burns recognises this and has designed the program on three fundamental truths about successful facilitators and communicators in the modern business environment:

1. They use a range of different behaviours to communicate with different people
2. They have a deep understanding of the audience they are trying to influence
3. They construct coherent messages to influence the audience.

Who attends?
If you are a professional facilitator, trainer or change agent, if your effectiveness is linked directly to your proficiency as a communicator, if you manage the development of employees, or convince others to make a decision or take a risk, then this program will greatly benefit you.

An overview
During May and June 2012, spend 6 comprehensive days (3 x 2 day blocks) of interactive learning with Dr Burns. Participants will commit to studying the latest research and training theories and will be tasked to put into practice new skill sets while being coached by Dr Stephanie Burns Australia's foremost authority on adult learning. During the break between each 2 day block of training, participants will be tasked with practicing strategies and will build layer upon layer of knowledge and expertise until the skills become powerful new behaviours and the knowledge becomes integrated and automatic.

You will develop advanced training expertise which will allow you to reach more of your audience (regardless of size) more of the time. You will grow professionally and personally as the flexibility of your behaviours expand and you communicate more congruently, delivering your unique message in a style that is most effective for you.

You will evaluate your strengths and areas to improve, set goals and objectives and then systematically go about gaining the skills and knowledge to make them happen. You'll receive and give honest feedback and learn from the vast body of solid academic theory about adult learning, yet most of all, you will stretch to new levels of expertise in the areas of communication and influence.
