Implement
In this phase, a skillful trainer engages the learners and brings the curriculum to life. The participants gain useful information and are able to do something that makes a difference for their organization. Remember, straight lecture is not the best way to teach adults. Rather, the trainer should be an instructor, guide, coach or facilitator. This means coming alongside of the learners and showing them the way. See the Appendix for more information on Principles of Adult Learning and Learning Styles.

Be sure to take adequate and frequent breaks. In general, no session should run longer than 90 minutes without a restroom break. Also, make sure you take a break long enough to be refreshing. Five minutes is not enough time to check voicemail, go to the restroom and have a short conversation with another participant.

Before you conclude, allow them to give you some feedback on your training session. That is what evaluation is all about.
