More and more companies are finding that individual training seminars on specific topics make little sense. Very often, those who did not undergo training end up causing change programs within a company to fail. For this reason, companies are increasingly recognizing that change processes can succeed only when they affect the entire organization and are consistently implemented from the top down.
 
Some companies allow such large-scale processes to be conducted entirely by external facilitators. Others, however, believe that it makes sense to use a train-the-trainer program to coach in-house staff to become company trainers. This enhances internal company know-how and saves costs at the same time.
 
Clearly, developing internal training and consulting skills should be an integral part of any change program.
 
Munich Leadership Group offers programs that are individually tailored to your organization's needs. Train-the-trainer programs are generally beneficial, as they train internal specialists within just a few months. At the end of the program, these new trainers not only know what they are talking about, but they also have the skills required to develop their own training programs, forge strong contacts with the participants, manage groups and actively drive the desired change processes forward. Experience shows that internal trainers are often perceived as a "cheap, stop-gap solution," and the trainers' competence is questioned. For this reason, our coaching focuses on developing trainers' ability to quickly recognize objections and resistance, and to redirect their energy to ensure the success of the training program.

The main components of Munich Leadership Group train-the-trainer programs are practical building blocks that participants can use to discover and develop their skills. "Into-the-fire" exercises subject participants to difficult seminar situations that help prepare them for potential real-life confrontations. Through intensive feedback exercises, participants learn how others perceive them, and become aware of their strengths and weaknesses. Such exercises help new trainers develop the confidence that will help them gain the trust of their future seminar participants.
