Avoid These 10 Training Mistakes

Canadian Management Centre

You may be quite knowledgeable about your training topic, and yet still fail to deliver effective training to your class of executives or managers. The following ten mistakes can erode the quality of any training initiative. Ask yourself if you are guilty of any of them:

  1. Insufficient workspace. In addition to providing ample space for your students, make sure to allow sufficient room for yourself.

You also need from six to eight feet of space between your table and the audience. More than that separates you from the audience; less may make you and your audience feel claustrophobic.
