ABSTRACT
Participants feel privileged to receive training from respected authorities knowledgeable in the subject and believe that the responsibility for understanding and learning from them is theirs alone. The Learning Skills Research Centre has produced an important research paper in 2004 which lists 13 different learning styles models, with a critique of each. Where training events are more than three or four days in length then it is often useful in order to improve the learning process to sensitize multi-cultural participants to each other's difference. The one with which readers are likely to be most familiar is the Honey and Mumford learning styles framework. Trainers who are Activists like the limelight and want to be inspirational. They are energetic and enthusiastic, welcoming new challenges and experiences and do not shy away from taking risks. Trainers who are Reflectors prepare carefully and like to think about things in detail before taking action.
