Emotions are the key to learning – they make memories and insights “sticky”, and turn our experiences into lasting impressions.
They are crucial element of learning, as well as key to truly apply new behaviors and skills in life after the workshop.
Yet too often, they are the neglected bit – trainers design events focused on methods and content, not taking flow of emotions into account.
Have you ever wondered what emotions are your learners experiencing during your workshops and training events?
And how their emotion impacts what they actually learn, how well they remember it, and how much they will use it after the workshop?
Would you like to develop new, more impactful ways of designing that emotional journey and keeping the learners’ energy and motivation high while facilitating or delivering a workshop?
If so, this is the workshop made for you!
Emotions make all the difference in making learning memorable and impactful!
Emotions have a huge impact on the learning process – they are the key to attention, memory and learner’s motivation, and are a crucial ingredient of an impactful learning process.
Yet their impact is terribly neglected in most of the learning experiences!
By joining us at this course, you will explore new ways to manage the emotion and energy in the training room, and learn many new powerful tools and approaches to do that (even) better.

“Managing emotions and energy in workshops and training events “ is an online course divided into 3 modules, in which you will learn about impact of different emotions on learning.
You will discover ways of create more impactful emotional experiences in your workshops for stronger memory and building an engaging, memorable learning journey for your participants.
The course is designed for trainers and facilitators, as well as anyone organizing and delivering workshops and educational events.
It brings together theory about emotions in learning based on the science of learning and neuroscience with meaningful and insightful discussions among experienced trainers, and focus on how to turn the theory into practical tools and approaches to use in your own workshops.
