How to break the ice?
What's the point of breaking ice?
Can there be a good atmosphere when breaking the ice?
Can breaking ice melt ice?
Can breaking ice thaw?
What is the key to thawing?
As far as my personal long-term training and teaching experience is concerned, I think breaking ice is not equal to melting ice, let alone thawing. To truly solve the problem of training atmosphere, we should think from the following aspects:
Thinking 1: Where does the "ice" at the training site come from?
Take enterprise internal training as an example. Where does the ice at the training site come from?
First, it comes from the enterprise itself.
1. If the arrangement of relevant personnel for training by the enterprise is only a mere formality plan of the annual work of the human resources management department, it will be out of touch with the actual needs of the students in various aspects such as curriculum arrangement, resulting in such training only staying in the form to complete the task.
2. The nature of enterprises is different, and cultural differences are also an important aspect of training atmosphere differences. We found such a common phenomenon that the training atmosphere of European and American enterprises is much more active than that of Japanese and Korean enterprises. State-owned enterprises will be relatively dull and depressed; And private enterprises are often more diversified than bosses.
3. The functional management department of the enterprise is not familiar with the business and management status of the trainees from this department, which leads to the inconsistency between the training needs and the actual needs, resulting in a gap between their respective expectations.
4. The training audience lacks uniqueness, which leads to the overlapping of participants' levels and seriously damages the atmosphere at the scene.
Second, it is the training content and the comprehensive ability of trainers.
1. The trainer didn't fully communicate with the trained enterprise before the class, which led to the unclear training needs and different concerns, which led to the mismatch between the course theme, content and needs.
2. The trainer's own professional experience is insufficient, so he can't really understand the industry background, corporate culture and possible management problems of the trained enterprise, which leads to the inability to find the voice with the trainees.
3. The curriculum and deductive ability are insufficient, which leads to the curriculum can not really stimulate students' willingness to learn and effectively reflect practical value.
4. The lack of professional ethics of trainers makes students lose their due respect and recognition for lecturers.
5. Without sufficient on-the-spot experience and adaptability, it is impossible to make necessary responses and adjustments to improve and guide the training atmosphere when there is a problem. For example, how to adjust and deal with the age difference, position difference and training experience difference of students.
Third, training venues, facilities and environment.
1. Due to various factors, such as budget, work needs and time arrangement, the training venue is not properly arranged.
2. The training facilities are not perfect, which leads to the lecturer's inability to meet the necessary facilities during the explanation process, thus affecting the course presentation and leading to the lack of highlights.
3. There are no reasonable emergency measures and plans for possible emergencies at the training site.
Fourth, it comes from students.
1, students' weak willingness to participate in the training leads to bystander mentality or atmosphere-destroying behavior.
2. Differences in students' personalities lead to embarrassing or out-of-control scenes.
3. The difference of students' mentality caused by regional differences has certain influence.
Thinking 2: How to melt the "hard ice" on the training site?
Because of the possible existence of "ice", there will inevitably be melting requirements and skills. So, how can we effectively melt ice?
1. First of all, what is the possible "ice" of a reasonable and effective course according to the relevant information of oneself, enterprises and students?
2. Secondly, we should judge the thickness and strength of these "ice", make a good plan and make full psychological preparation.
3. Fully understand the essential difference between "breaking ice" and "thawing".
4. "breaking the ice": it can partially or linearly resolve an atmosphere deadlock, which takes a relatively short time;
"Thawing": it is an effective means to resolve the atmosphere deadlock as a whole, but it takes a relatively long time.
Judging the situation, it is suggested to combine "breaking ice" and "thawing" organically to keep "hard ice" away from you.
Without a good training atmosphere, there will be no expected training effect;
Break the deadlock before the training begins.
Breaking the ice is just breaking the ice;
Thawing is the key to deicing!
Internal combustion and external baking can make the temperature rise faster;
Really thaw and make the training course more exciting!
