When people are kept from moving--whether they're sitting through a
presentation or stuck behind a desk--they become restless and their
attention waivers. Yet most training ignores the innate human desire for
motion, resulting in participants learning less.
Based on the latest neuroscience research, Training in Motion
explains how movement enhances learning and introduces a unique and
highly effective way to energize an audience and increase retention
through simple body-focused techniques. The book shows readers how to:
Tie lessons to movement to reinforce concepts * Manage learners'
physical and emotional states to increase engagement and bolster memory
* Use posture, physical gestures, and other movements to command
interest * Employ quick physical breaks to efficiently refocus students
* Turn lackluster sessions into high-achieving learning environments
Practical, accessible, and packed with activities, this one-of-a-kind
book helps readers add a kinesthetic component to their training so that
participants stay motivated, and apply what they've learned long after
they've left the classroom.
