“Powerful Training offers an inspiring and easy to follow approach for conceiving, creating and implementing curriculum that supports the very best adult learning. It helps trainers be more learner-centered and open to the knowledge they create in partnerships with the adult learners in the room.

the three types of learners
What's Your Learning Style?
Auditory Learner
Auditory learners are those for whom clear, systematic presentations and opportunities to discuss their content are preferred activities for learning.
Visual Learner
Visual learners literally prefer “seeing” what the instructor is talking about. They respond positively to PowerPoint, large diagrams on newsprint, lists, handouts, and other forms of showing content.
Kinesthetic Learner
Kinesthetic learners need physical engagement of some sort to give them an experience of how the content works.
Your learning style affects how you teach. Learn more about how your style can improve your training.
