Do I need to prepare anything before or after the session?
To gain the maximum benefit from the course each learner will be asked to answer a Reflective Questionnaire. The questions will encourage them to think about their past experiences with stakeholders, challenges they have faced, and areas where they would like to improve.
Before the course begins each learner will also receive a 3-2-1 Personal Action Plan template. Post-training, participants will be led through a short reflective activity which will allow each learner to use this template to record:
- Three things they learned/were reminded about during training
- Two things they want to action based on the session
- One thing they are going to action this week.
