"Train the Trainer" for SSI Clients

SSI believes in developing a strong internal-external partnership with our clients.

This program is designed for corporate trainers and others who are responsible for coaching, facilitating or teaching in their companies and would like to incorporate the power of the Birkman Method® in their existing work.

The initial objective of "Train the Trainer" is to teach you how to provide individual feedback on a person's Birkman Method® profile.

To ensure that you can meet this objective you will learn how to:

• Explain the construct behind the method
• Define each of the categories that are measured by the Birkman
• Translate data into real world examples
• Interpret scoring patterns
• Link the various reports together in a cohesive manner
• Identify a person's key areas for development

The learning environment of our "Train the Trainer" sessions is highly interactive and to promote retention you will immediately test your knowledge through small group breakout sessions, case studies and exercises.

Prior to attending the program you will be asked to have a person you know very well - typically a spouse, sibling or close friend - complete the profile. Their reports, as well as your own, will be used as a learning tool to help you understand and interpret the data.

The investment to attend a "Train the Trainer" program includes:

• A comprehensive reference manual on the Birkman Method®
• Your personal Birkman reports
• The personal Birkman reports of your case study
• All classroom materials
• Two practice reports to use post program to further develop your skills
• Two hours of coaching, post program, to answer your questions and to foster a successful start using the methodology
