Trainer Tips - “Hi... What time do we finish?”

15/2/2022

Have you ever been setting up for a workshop, and as the learners start to arrive, someone asks “HI... WHAT TIME DO WE FINISH?”
​

This can be a genuine question! But the fact that they ask it as soon as they walk in through the door can sometimes feel rather personal!
In my experience this has very little to do with you and is usually either about their external commitments – project deadline looming, childcare concerns or that they do not see the worth in the topic being trained.

So, what can you do as the TRAINER?
  • Answer their question straight away and then follow this up by asking if there is anything you need to be aware of.
  • If there is a genuine concern about completion of business-critical work, and there are alternative dates, ask if they need to reschedule. (Get them to check in with their line manager before confirming)
  • If they need to leave early because of other reasons (Getting a lift / childcare etc, ask them to make arrangement with someone in the sessions to catch you up with what they will miss. By doing this, you are passing responsibility for their learner back to them.
  • If they are asking because they actually don’t want to be there, ask what they know about the training and the reason for it. Spend time building rapport and making sure everyone is clear on this as part of your opening
  • Above all else, don’t make them feel like they’ve personally insulted you. This will simply cause them to withdraw.
