More About Barbara
Adult Learning
“What Adult Learners Want —
Planning Educational
Programs that Produce Results”
“Adding ‘High Touch’ to your ‘High Tech’ Training”
Anyone who does any kind of presenting or meeting planning needs to understand
the principles of Adult Learning in order to design presentations and meetings
that will truly impact attendees. It is critical to be able to identify
the five things all adult learners want in a program and then to be knowledgeable
about the specific tools and techniques to meet those needs:
- To enjoy the learning
- To apply the knowledge to himself/herself
- To communicate the knowledge to someone else
- To feel confidence in the presenter
- To be respected by the presenter.
Presenters and meeting planners also need to understand the four different
adult learning styles and how to appeal to each in specific programming.
By creating an experience that appeals to all four learning styles through
brightly-colored laminated flipcharts on the walls, unforgettable stories,
humor, cartoons, music, creative visuals, and interactive exercises, Barbara
will demonstrate programs that cause behavior change and truly make a difference.
Utilizing her Masters' degree in Adult Education and her experience as
a Certified Speaking Professional, Barbara will share the theory behind
adult learning as well as many specific tools and techniques to apply that
theory as she creatively and enthusiastically models the five things all
adult learners want. Click here to read what some clients have to say about
