• Adult learning has a much greater chance of success when the trainer or
teacher is competent. An instructor that strives for excellence will
demonstrate each of the following qualities of a good trainer.
Exudes Patience
Lectures provide information to the masses but for true learning to occur,
a good trainer facilitates active learning by finding ways for the learner to
uncover the key concepts through discovery and practice. Hands-on
learning through discussions, quizzes, games, case studies, simulations,
brainstorming etc. will engage the learner in the topic and facilitate their
learning.
Variety is the spice of life and it also spices up learning. A good teacher
knows when to change gears and offer an activity or exercise that will
shake up preconceived notions of learners and expand their perceptions.
Challenge learners by offering the unexpected and mixing up the delivery
to appeal to the various learning styles.
A good teacher remains neutral and encourages debates that explore the
pros and cons of concepts. Racism, hate and ignorance should never exist
in a classroom. A good trainer will demonstrate zero tolerance for
unethical behaviors while, at the same time, encourage different
viewpoints that help learners understand cultural diversity.
Motivates Learning
Adult learners need to feel that their classroom (be it virtual or not) is a
safe place to express their concerns and ask questions. Learners who feel
threatened by a closed communicative environment will not learn and
will usually drop out.
Comes Prepared
The way you listen, look, move, and react tell the other person whether or
not you care and how well you’re listening. The nonverbal signals you
send either produce a sense of interest, trust, and desire for connection—
or they generate disinterest, distrust, and confusion.
Body language in relationships
Facial expressions
Consider how your perceptions of people are affected by the way they sit,
walk, stand up, or hold their head. The way you move and carry yourself
communicates a wealth of information to the world. This type of
nonverbal communication includes your posture, bearing, stance, and
subtle movements.
Gestures
Gestures are woven into the fabric of our daily lives. We wave, point,
beckon, and use our hands when we’re arguing or speaking animatedly—
expressing ourselves with gestures often without thinking. However, the
meaning of gestures can be very different across cultures and regions, so
it’s important to be careful to avoid misinterpretation.
Eye contact
Since the visual sense is dominant for most people, eye contact is an
especially important type of nonverbal communication. The way you
look at someone can communicate many things, including interest,
affection, hostility, or attraction. Eye contact is also important in
maintaining the flow of conversation and for gauging the other person’s
response.
Touch
Space
Have you ever felt uncomfortable during a conversation because the other
person was standing too close and invading your space? We all have a
need for physical space, although that need differs depending on the
culture, the situation, and the closeness of the relationship. You can use
physical space to communicate many different nonverbal messages,
including signals of intimacy, aggression, dominance, or affection.
Voice
We communicate with our voices, even when we are not using words.
Nonverbal speech sounds such as tone, pitch, volume, inflection, rhythm,
and rate are important communication elements. When we speak, other
people “read” our voices in addition to listening to our words. These
nonverbal speech sounds provide subtle but powerful clues into our true
feelings and what we really mean. Think about how tone of voice, for
example, can indicate sarcasm, anger, affection, or confidence.
