Module Design 
This is a two and one-half day workshop. It is a traditional 
instructor-led course with a significant number of activities, 
which support the information presented and provide 
participants with an opportunity to apply what they have 
learned. The focus of this workshop is on 
individual 
development; consequently, many of the activities are individual 
activities. 
Trainer Roles and 
Responsibilities 
You will be required to present information, facilitate and 
debrief the many activities that are interspersed throughout the 
workshop. Some probing questions are provided for you; 
however, you must be remain alert so that you can add relevant 
thought-provoking questions and provide insights during the 
debrief discussions. Your role is to serve as presenter, facilitator 
and coach.
Discussion and the exchange of thoughts and ideas are an 
important part of the learning process and are encouraged in 
this workshop. If an interesting, beneficial discussion is 
occurring, do not cut it short it in favor of a strict timeline; 
however, be aware that you may need to make up time in 
another section of the workshop.
