The dictionary defines a prop as anything or item that supports another.
Name tags – when used it aids you to call attendees by name Trivia – breaks up learning activity Magic tricks – simple card tricks can prove a point or break up a session Time – use for time testing, breaks, group activities Dart game – excellent to prove a point about team work, listening skills
Balloon toss – use balloon, koosh or beach ball to toss in group for main activities: group leader choice, question and answer selection, content answers List 4 Items – good team exercise for ice breaker Arrow on the head – object that shows you are just the messenger for mandated trainings Survival exercise – great for team development and an ice breaker Large dice – great way to let attendees choose questions, answers for content or review
Who are you going to train? How adults learn best.
Frequent Questions Explain a concept Summaries
Participate/small groups Competition Meaningful to the audience Adult attention span
Largest percent of adults are visual learners.
Small percentage of auditory learners. Small percentage of kinesthetic learners.
WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT?
Vary your questions. Speak distinctly. Avoid calling always on those who appear to know the answer.
The question is not only a useful but highly versatile tool. A good teacher tries to talk as little as possible and makes the students do the talking. This is achieved by asking the right kind of questions. Questions can help you:
Begin a discussion Direct the thinking of the group Obtain information or opinion End or limit the discussion Get participation from a particular student Determine the students’ understanding or knowledge
You may encounter people you are to train that are negative, disruptive and difficult. They don’t feel they need to be included in the training activity.
Following are some tips on dealing with the small numbers of unhappy or mandated learners you may encounter.
Remember why you are the trainer. Do not focus on their needs; defuse them by concentration on the positive learner. Never let them see you sweat. Engage learners, activate them in activities to bond their efforts. If all else fails, talk to them. Ask attendees to “sit on them” or “kick them out”.
Most are cautious with an unfamiliar situation. Help those adults get comfortable with your instruction style.

OUR BODY LANGUAGE SPEAKS LOUDER THAN OUR VOICE.
Schedule the safety training early in the shift. Avoid Mondays and Fridays. Make a regular schedule. Consider sending out a reminder. Stick to the topic and agenda.
How our workforce is changing and why we should care. How generations differ in their approach to work and life. Why differences cause conflict and risk and what to do about it. How adults choose to learn. Using stories to develop safety training that is effective for all workers.
A generation is a group of people who were programmed at the same time in history.
Diversity of:
Generations National cultures Regional cultures Gender Religious beliefs Family values
Traditionalist Born 1925‐1945 Baby Boomer Born 1946‐1964 Generation X Born 1965‐1981 Generation Y Born 1982‐2002 91‐71 70‐52 51‐35 34‐14
*Projections from late 1990’s
Hard fact is our literacy level is changing. About 7000 students drop our of high school every day in the U.S. In 2014, only 22-25% of graduating U.S. seniors met or exceeded the college readiness requirements for science, math, reading and English.
Amid this complexity, who do employers believe is the hardest to manage?
Baby boomers – 33.9% Millennials – 47.6%
Of business leaders and HR professionals:
75% acknowledge the importance of providing modern tools, mobile apps, social media wearables and self-service. 30% find it hard to build teams in this new, diverse, multi-generational marketplace. 45% admit these differences cause conflict and risk. 50% admit to not fully understanding the generations that work for them. 22% are totally unprepared for millennial led trends in the workplace.
“Research shows that five distinct categories of variables related to work, employment and organizations appear to differ significantly across generations. These are:
Work and life related values Motivators Professional growth Attitudes to rules, authority and hierarchy Attitudes to learning, training and development and the work environment.”
Conservative in dress and language Mediators Just fix problems, don’t talk about them Employment is a career Loyal (join service orgs.) Live to work “Traditional” American work ethic Disciplined and stable

Very confident Believe they will make a difference Over-protected generation Expect rewards for trying, not just succeeding Used to “do-overs” Very connected…technology has always been available Like to work in groups Expect promotions quickly Gender equality is a given Most multicultural generation Short attention spans Value autonomy & flexibility
(BORN 1982-2002)
Traditionalists
Not computer savvy Don’t like profanity/slang Want experience to be valued Rewards include plaques, certificates Expect leader to be fair, consistent, logical, organized
Baby Boomers
Want to be included in decisions Value their opinions, contributions Interact personally with them Rewards include promotion, appreciation, recognition Expect leaders to be democratic, personal, open to input
Generation X
Skeptical, distrustful of authority Give as much flexibility as possible Love technology -- not afraid of it Keep rules to a minimum Rewards include free time, new experiences, high-tech toys Expect leaders not to be micro-managers, too bureaucratic. Leaders must walk the talk, focus on results, not process
Millennials
Need mentors, coaches, supervisors who will teach (especially Boomers) Like to multi-task Ability to work with high-tech Need to work on interpersonal skills Rewards include awards, certificates, other evidence of ability/credibility Expect leaders to be consistent, organized, value their technical savvy Won’t respond to leaders who are condescendingly, cynical, sarcastic, or treat them as if they are too young to be valuable
Baby Boomers make up one third of the working U.S. population. 8000 boomers are retiring every day and taking with them the knowledge, skills and occupational wisdom they have gained
It takes an average of 8-10 years for a worker to develop specific expertise.
Older and younger workers are injured and killed much more
“The overall fatal occupational injury rate is higher for Hispanic/Latino workers than for all workers.”
BLS 2013
Self-directing Base learning in life experience Must be convinced of the relevance of learning Must be convinced they are able to do the task Want learning to be enjoyable Very practical in what they choose to learn Internally and externally motivated
Dependent Answers come from others, not their own experience Expect to be told what to learn (externally motivated) Tolerant of abstract learning (numbers, alphabet, for example)

The Conscious Brain
Data driven Sequential Prefers logical order Makes decisions based on rules Aware of “now” Can only process 1-3 things at a time Averages 2000 bits of information per second
The Unconscious Brain
Experience driven Intuitive Uses feelings, thoughts and ideas for decisions Is timeless Great at multi-tasking 1. Averages 10,000 bits of information per second
Stories add “experiences” to the unconscious brain without the need to actually experience the event. They can then become part of the decision-making process.
Adults learn best by having experiences and then reflecting
Every training session must provide an opportunity for people to experience something new and discuss it, or to analyze it in terms of their own experience.
