How can you provide effective follow-up support to workshop participants who need help?

Durante mi experiencia he desarrollado estrategias de seguimiento para participantes que requieren soporte a través de mesas de ayuda y apoyo de facilitadores con sesiones personalizadas identificando las causas de las situaciones complicadas que se desarrollan durante los programas. Cabe mencionar que establecer canales de comunicación es de vital importancia para recibir retroalimentación de los programas, en ocasiones se requiere de ajustes que también ayuden a los participantes a solucionar las inconsistencias.

While it depends on the type of workshop, here are some options to consider: - A Roadmap or Action Plan to help them put what they learned into practice - Peer Support and/or an Accountability Partner - Suggested resources, ie. reading materials, podcasts, research papers - Community Support - whether it's a WhatsApp group chat, or a more structured communication channel, create the conditions for peer learning, and celebrating achievements

Collecting feedback from your workshop participants is the number one reason for hosting a workshop. Workshops allow you, as the trainer/ training department, to understand the challenges the team is facing and issues in the process, to allow you to communicate to the necessary departments to influence change, and better understand how to build training that explains how to overcome identified problems.

To offer effective follow-up support to workshop participants, establish clear communication channels, such as email or a dedicated online platform, to address queries promptly. Share comprehensive resources, including FAQs and supplementary materials, to reinforce workshop content. Schedule post-workshop webinars or Q&A sessions to delve deeper into specific topics and address lingering questions. Encourage participants to connect with each other for peer support and foster a sense of community. Provide personalized assistance through one-on-one consultations or office hours. Solicit feedback to continually improve support mechanisms and adapt to participants' evolving needs, ensuring a holistic and ongoing learning experience.

To effectively support workshop participants after the event, I recommend implementing a variety of strategies. These include distributing post-workshop resources, organizing periodic Q&A sessions or webinars, creating an online community for ongoing discussions, regularly checking-in through emails or social media, and maintaining a feedback loop in order to tailor support to the changing needs of the participants.

Offering a how-to guide or reference sheet after a workshop will easily allow participants to recall what they learned and apply concept quickly. The guides should remain high level. If employees need to dive deeper into a concept, they should be directed to an elearning.

Crie oportunidades dos participantes, não só fazerem parte do evento, mas sim deles contribuírem de uma forma efetiva. Muitos gostam de serem desafiados, gostam de trazer o seu ponto de vista e querem ser ouvidos! O acompanhamento é fundamental, ou melhor, o pós venda é fundamental. Tudo aquilo que estiga o conhecimento e a preocupação se aquilo foi absorvido, o participante se sente abraçado.

One of the pivotal strides toward delivering comprehensive support involves furnishing participants with resources that facilitate the augmentation of their knowledge base, honing of their skills, and resolution of professional challenges. These invaluable resources encompass an array of mediums such as thoughtfully crafted handouts, meticulously curated manuals, instructive videos, insightful podcasts, informative articles, enriching books, and pertinent online courses. The strategic decision lies in whether to generate bespoke resources tailored to the specific context or to selectively curate existing materials of proven relevance and reliability.

There are many great resource types listed here. I suggest making sure that the resources you recommend complement the workshop content. Candidates love handouts and worksheets that enable them to take notes, see key concepts at a glance, and help them visualize the content in a different way. I further suggest being specific with the resources provided. Often times, instructors will refer people to a book or a podcast but fail to tell the attendee exactly where the information is that they need. Tell them what episode would be helpful, what chapter, etc. While it is fair to expect attendees to do their own follow up, when we help busy adults narrow down what will help them, we increase their probability of being able to follow through.

To support participants in their learning journey, I provide them with additional resources related to the workshop topics. These resources include recommended books, articles, videos, and online courses. I carefully curate these resources based on the participants' interests and needs. If need be I keep a forum or group open for discussion based on specific topics.

Effective follow-up support for workshop participants is all about providing personalized guidance and support to help them apply their new skills and knowledge in real-world scenarios. Here are some tips: - Establish rapport: Build trust and rapport with workshop participants by showing empathy and understanding their needs and challenges. - Listen actively: Ask open-ended questions and listen carefully to identify any areas where participants may need additional support or clarification. - Offer targeted advice: Provide specific advice and guidance that is tailored to each participant's unique needs and challenges. - Follow up regularly: Check in with participants periodically to monitor their progress and offer ongoing support.

A common challenge in providing follow-up support is ensuring sustained engagement from workshop participants in the coaching process. Participants may lose motivation or face obstacles in actively participating in the coaching sessions, hindering the effectiveness of the support. To address this challenge, tailor coaching plans to be highly personalised and goal-oriented.

I offer one-on-one coaching sessions to participants who require personalized support. These sessions allow me to address their individual challenges and provide guidance tailored to their specific needs. Through follow-up meetings or virtual sessions, I help them overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.

4. Mentoria e Coaching A mentoria é uma metodologia que consiste na transferência de conhecimentos de um profissional mais experiente para outro mais novo em sua carreira. O mentor atua como um guia, que usa toda a sua vivência na área de atuação como aprendizado para quem está começando agora. Por outro lado, o coaching é um processo mais robusto, que envolve tanto a carreira profissional quanto questões pessoais. Trata-se de uma metodologia de desenvolvimento de pessoas utilizada em cargos mais altos, que têm mais responsabilidades atreladas, pois não é um processo barato. Uma das ferramentas mais utilizadas em ambos os processos é a criação de um Plano de Desenvolvimento Individual.

Discussion forums promote collaborative learning and using these for post workshop discussions promote sharing of real-life experience and buildnon the learning aquired during the workshop.

Forming communities not only gives solutions for the current concern which they may raise but also give the other people involved in the community to form a circle of learning. A workshop will give guidance which may be interpreted by the participants by their current mindset. But with time people and situations evolve. Then the learning’s from these communities come in handy.

> Building a sense of community among workshop participants is crucial for ongoing support. I create online platforms or groups where participants can connect and support each other this could a teams groups or yammer community. This fosters a collaborative environment where they can share experiences, ask questions, and provide assistance to one another. > I often share success stories and testimonials from previous workshop participants. These stories serve as inspiration and motivation for current participants, showcasing the potential outcomes and benefits of the workshop. By sharing these stories, I reinforce the value of the workshop and encourage participants to continue their learning journey.

Maintenir une dynamique est également nécessaire pour l’évolution, en dehors du cadre de référence, vers la/les compétences. Certains participants seront plus actifs entre apprenants.

Promover interação entre os participantes do workshop será um facilitador também para a tirar dúvidas e sanar dificuldades, o que acontecerá naturalmente entre eles.

To provide effective follow-up support to workshop participants who at the end show they need help you should: Start with empathy: Know their needs and establish an authentic connection. Define clear objectives: Set specific goals for monitoring. Constant communication. Constructive feedback. Additional Resources: Provides tools and support materials. Reinforcement sessions: Organize short sessions to reinforce key concepts. Encourages active participation: Encourages interaction and the exchange of ideas. Continuous Monitoring: Evaluate progress and adjust strategy as necessary. Recognize and celebrate successes achieved. Flexibility: Tailor support to individual needs. Make learning a dynamic and successful experience!

Lower the barrier of entry to application. Make the next step(s) so easy and clear that the participant can’t help but complete them. It’s usually not a lack of desire that prevents participants from applying what they’ve learned. It’s the thought and reflection required to pushing it to the bottom of the priority list. We’ve all heard it, “I wanted to, but I haven’t had any time since class to review the material.” But we can help. Set them up with micro-objectives, 5-10 minute tasks to build new habits, work new tools, or think deep thoughts, to help the application stay front of mind and build up over time. Before they know it, they’re wielding that new skill like they’ve had it in their tool kit all along.

Unlock the "Personalized Roadmap." Beyond generic resources, tailor individualized action plans based on each participant's workshop experience. Imagine it as a GPS for their journey post-workshop, guiding them with specific tasks and milestones. This rarely explored facet acknowledges diverse learning styles and challenges, transforming follow-up from a one-size-fits-all approach to a dynamic, personalized support system. By offering a roadmap aligned with their workshop insights, participants feel more empowered, fostering a sustained and impactful learning experience.
