Difficult situations for trainers and training supervisors

Mastering challenges confidently and safely

This workshop is held in German.
As a trainer or training officer, you probably experience many unusual and challenging situations with your trainees. Some can be dealt with on an ad hoc basis and do not require any special preparation. Good preparation is worthwhile for all situations that are perceived as difficult. "Ignoring", "avoiding" or "sweeping under the carpet" works in very few cases. This will not help anyone in the long term. Practice dealing with difficult situations confidently so that you can face them successfully in the future with confidence and composure.

Contents

  • Theoretical basics of goal-oriented conversation.
  • Critical discussions as development and motivation moments in training.
  • What makes trainees "tick" today?
  • Give constructive feedback.
  • Use praise and criticism in a targeted manner.
  • Handle conflict situations appropriately.
  • Make sustainable target agreements.
  • Work on specific cases from your training practice.
  • Best practice and exchange of experience.

Dealing constructively with difficult trainees

They talk back, don't follow instructions, arrive late and get poor grades at vocational school: in the past, difficult trainees wouldn't have had a chance in a training company.
