Be prepared for constructive criticism
Whether you're giving it or taking it, constructive criticism will play a direct role for
you throughout the Train the Trainer process. Your trainers will be learning from
someone who specializes in presentation. So, if they're told that a joke isn't
landing or that they need to use a different method of demonstration, they should
be prepared not to take it personally.
The end goal of Train the Trainer is to maximize efficiency, not necessarily to
introduce creative learning methods. At the same time, learners do connect with
trainers when they are being genuine or authentic, so look for these traits when
you're critiquing a trainer within your department.
Track results
As new trainers, your employees are most likely eager to know how well they
taught and what they could do better the next time around. Even if they led
training through in-person meetings, create reports using tracking analytics to
show them who is seeking the next steps, or who is following up with "homework"
assignments. You can also use tactics such as gamification to encourage friendly
competition and reward progress.
