One of the most common things that we hear after we lead a workshop or training seminar is, "I have to be honest. I was really dreading having to come to this class. But I think I had more fun and learned more in this session than I have from any other training program."
The reason why we get such good results is that we learned early on that people learn by doing -- not by hearing and seeing. So, boring lectures with a ton of bullet points don't typically work very well.
On this episode, I'm going to pull back the curtain a little and share with you how to make your training sessions more interactive -- really how to make them more fun.
In the first part of the episode, I'll also show you scientifically why the traditional way that we teach people usually bombs. Interestingly, we've know that this teaching method fails for over 100 years, but most trainers still use this method.
So stick around until the end, because I'll give you five secrets to making any training that you deliver more compelling, more interactive, mor fun, and more memorable (in a positive way)!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
