I am very much interested in giving training but have stage fear. I want to start my career in training or something related to that. Can anybody tell me how to start with it? A small guidance from a well-known person from this group will help me to start my dream career.

Dear Nishu,

If you wish to become a trainer and if you have stage fear, then the first thing that you need to do is to take training on Presentation Skills. Once you master presentation skills, half of the battle is over.

Nevertheless, employee training is far more than merely giving presentations. You need to be a subject matter expert, understand your client's requirements, develop the ability to transfer knowledge to your participants, help your participants in the preparation of the Learning Implementation Plan (LIP), and above all, be clear on how your training will benefit your organization or client. The benefits should be measurable and tangible, and there should be no vagueness of any kind.

The first step to becoming a trainer is to understand how other trainers conduct their training programs. Have you done that? If yes, how many training programs did you attend, and what were your observations?

Thanks,

Very appropriately described by respected Divesh ji. A trainer is more than a person standing among an audience and talking. A competent trainer is not only a subject matter expert but also a facilitator. He facilitates the learning process to bridge the gap.

As suggested, besides being confident, you need to know the subjects you are training on. To start with, you need to decide what kind of training you would want to impart - behavioral or technical. You can also enroll in various courses available for trainers and understand the psychology and methods of training. ISTD is a government institution that provides a diploma in training. There are many other private ones too that certify trainers. All the best.

If you have a stage fear, I give you some clues to overcome. It is from my experience.
1) First observe a good orator (preferably a good politician’s speak) and observe and appreciate ‘ How good in his speech and how God has given him strength to speak so loudly and his action while speaking’
2) Make a Small entry for short speech, with pedestal stand. Initially Prepare the speech with small sentences, and keep it in your hand, and in case of any break / doubt you may refer it to your script.
3) While you are in the stage if you are nervous, imagine, appreciate and be conscious ‘how God is moving my legs shivering and wonder / appreciate the involuntary movement. The shivering will stop.

Hi Divakar Sir, Rahul Sir, and Babu Alexander Sir,

I have attended a few training programs when I was in college and during my work tenure. However, I have not attended any external training as such. I have done a few presentations during my college days. My desire to become a trainer started when I was doing presentations for my college work.

I have just completed my PGDBHRM from SIBM Bangalore. Rahul Sir, I have heard about the ISTD course, and I have gone through it as well. The course is completely theoretical, and I am planning to take it. But what about practical training? If I have to acquire that, how should I start? Can anybody suggest a good course through which I can develop this skill, please suggest.

Babu Sir, thank you for the quick motivation. I will consider it and remember it whenever I go for a presentation.

Hi Nishuji,

May I suggest that you apply to any 5-star hotel for the position of Training Assistant? By taking this step, you will have the opportunity to observe skilled trainers at work, and in a couple of years, you could advance to the role of Assistant Training Manager in Soft Skills training.

Wishing you all the very best.
