6. Exercises

After demonstrating, does the trainer provide ways for you to make the new skills a part of your behavior? It's usually easiest to learn skills when the trainer sets up a series of carefully-designed supervised exercises or tasks that allow you to practice new skills in a comfortable and safe manner. A good training begins by training you in smaller component skills, and then assists you in easily putting these skills together to work for maximum impact in a real context. Understanding alone won't get you results in your life. You should leave a good seminar able to do more than when you walked in.
