• Combine brain science and technology and enhance learning by using both in creative, collaborative ways.

COURSE OVERVIEW: 

As the summary states, this course will show you what it takes to elevate your training game to an advanced level.  This event is for anyone who is a new or seasoned trainer, speaker or coach, anyone responsible for training folks in any capacity.  Even Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and Agile and Scrum Trainers can benefit greatly from this training and find ways to incorporate brain-based learning techniques into their daily environment.  This training course is the perfect marriage to Agile. 

This is NOT one of those trainings where you leave and can't find a way to immediately begin accessing your learnings, and then six months down the road you can't even remember what you learned because you didn't get to apply it.  The way this course is structured gives you time to learn, time to practice, time to collaborate, and time cement your learning.  The course even provides time for you to consider how to use what you learn in your own environment, while you're still in class.

A note to experienced trainers: 

We've all seen sessions where our learners don't seem engaged or actively learning; maybe even disconnected from the class.  Not the case in this class.  What you will learn will bring more student engagement in your future classes.  You'll be able to use techniques that will help your learners cement what they are there to learn.   

A note to Agile coaches, Scrum trainers, Scrum Masters:  

You'll be able to combine Agile and Scrum processes and principles with Accelerated Learning to create collaborative, interactive, fun, and memorable learning experiences.  You will learn techniques that can be used to elicit the ever-elusive 'meaningful feedback' during retrospectives.  

As a bonus to the class: 

Monarch is proud to partner with Angela Agresto of  Brain Building Blueprints to bring her amazing resource every Training from the Back of the Room Practitioner needs; the Brain Building Blueprints 4C's Flipbook.  I was privileged to see this project in its infancy.  Angela has brought it full circle to a product that is an invaluable resource in the planning of a class.
