ABSTRACT

The materials included in this workbook can be used for a variety of training

needs and time frames. This chapter covers designs suitable for multi-day

training sessions.

As noted in Chapter 8, longer learning sessions might raise concerns that par-

ticipants will be overloaded with information. You can avoid information

overload by designing programmes that allow participants to learn efficiently

and at their own pace. Our approach in multi-day sessions is to present a

significant amount of content by mixing short, to-the-point theories and

models with experiential exercises and assessments. That approach keeps par-

ticipants from feeling like they are ‘drinking from a fire hose’ of information,

and instead produces an enjoyable, fruitful learning experience.
