Employee retention is a high priority for most organizations today, and providing learning opportunities is the best retention strategy.

As a Subject Matter Expert, one of the most valuable things you can do for an organization is help them create impactful professional development training and learning opportunities for their team.

Knowing your audience is the key to creating and facilitating a successful professional development workshop or training session.

Here are 3 questions you can ask before your workshop to help maximize its relevance for participants:

- Who is this workshop intended for? (job title, industry, etc.)
- What is their experience level with the topic?
- What outcome(s) can participants expect to achieve?

Answering these questions before facilitating the workshop will help you create a positive and impactful experience for participants.

One of the biggest challenges faced by business owners and CEOs is finding great leaders to grow and manage their companies.

By creating and facilitating impactful professional development training, you're helping an organization to create, support, and retain more leaders.

The most effective workshop facilitators choose a clear outcome for their workshops and then design an experience that ensures their participants make measurable progress toward that outcome.

Organizations that invest in their team's growth and development do a better job of attracting and retaining top talent. When someone who values continuous growth stops getting it, they leave.

A common complaint from professional development workshop participants is that the facilitator shared too much information.

Although they have good intentions, many workshop facilitators cram too much information into their workshops - leaving participants overwhelmed, confused, and not sure how to implement what they've learned.

When you're creating a workshop, don't try to "teach everything you know" about a subject.

Instead, choose a few key principles that help your participants shift their perspective on the subject.

Then, design your content to help support them in making those shifts, taking new actions, and achieving better outcomes.

One of the most effective ways for an organization to retain its employees is to invest in professional development.

Over 90% of employees will stay longer with a company that provides opportunities for learning and growth.

Most organizations don’t need to be convinced to invest in their team’s development - but they do need to provide better training.

(43% of employees who receive professional development training find it to be ineffective.)
