Training with PEP – Moving Beyond Cert IV

Our flagship program! This 3-day workshop is designed to provide experienced trainers the opportunity to refine their skill set and take their training design and delivery to the next level.

After years of requests we have put together a 3 day trainers training, that we believe is the best available, right now, in Australia. Anyone that knows Donna will know this has been on her mind...so it's no real surprise that we now have this workshop ready to offer.

This program is real value for money, given that you get all of this in 3 jam packed days:

a guaranteed way of engaging audiences from the word go (the magic formula)
a training design methodology that encompasses just about EVERY learning style you can think of
a way of designing games, simulations and activities to give your training impact and meaning
a tried and tested methodology for "thinking on your feet"
a model to delivery training that can reduce your existing preparation time by at least 50%

AND a trainers toolkit crammed packed with stuff that will make your next training "pop"

A set of what we reckon are the BEST flip chart markers in Australia - Mr Sketch Markers
Session plan templates for 6 different types of workshops
Visual Vocabulary Dictionary full of simple pictures and icons to represent business concepts
Learning Journal
Connector Pens

Each day will run from 9am to 5pm with breaks for tea and coffee, and lunch. The program will take place at ViewPoint Conference Centre, St Kilda Rd.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to this amazing training.

A Modern Day Map Book

I have been reading (or rather looking at) a new book that landed on my shelf entitled The Visual Miscellaneum by David McCandless. It's sub title is "A colourful guide to the world's most consequential trivia".

He has visually represented in interesting and cool ways things like dangers of death, varieties of romantic relationships and when condiments go bad. Some of the more "serious" topics include global warming, who really runs the world and the media jungle.

To quote from the intro " Swamped by information, I was searching for a better way to see it all and understand it. Why not visually?

Why not indeed.

As a graphic recorder, I found the experience of reading this book both enlightening and entertaining (my favourite kind of read), but what was more exciting, is that it was immediately useful!

I had the opportunity to be the graphic recorder at a recent Appreciative Inquiry (AI) Summit. Very large event, over 100 people and we produced some really good (and cool) work.

One of the processes involved a "card sort" after which I was handed over 200 index cards, sorted, and asked to represent the result visually. I instantly panicked and thought "holy crap!"... and then it hit me like the proverbial sledge hammer...."Visual Miscellaneum !!".

The result follows. I have removed some of the information that would give away the client name, however the chart makes the point. I have created people standing in a line, and the size of the person represents the frequency of the idea shown on their t-shirt, or on a sign. I was pretty chuffed with the result, but better, the client loved it!
