Is your training fun meter set too low?

Are you worried participants think your training classes are boring?

Have you ever created a buzz with your training?
The training reality is that no matter your presentation skill, topic expertise, or personality... ALL TRAINERS NEED TO BE MORE INTERACTIVE.
As a trainer you sometimes see comments like these in your evals.
The solution appears simple. Just do more interactive techniques.
But the problem is that getting ACCESS to interactive techniques has been an ongoing training industry issue for years. What’s been so frustrating for trainers is that you have had just two choices...read a book or train-the-trainer. UNTIL NOW.
Choice #1: Read a book
Books have great ideas. But they don't give you a facilitator script, create your slides, or show you a live demo. So, your confidence level for delivery is low.
Choice #2: Train-the-Trainer
TTT is expensive. No customizations allowed. You have to buy materials every time you want to be interactive. And no way can you use your logo.
CHOICE #3: Turn-key interactive techniques
Extreme® Trainings was created so entire departments of trainers, training companies, and independent trainers can confidently deliver highly interactive customized training techniques.

Brian Walter is a trainer, Hall of Fame professional speaker, humorist, multimedia producer, and communications consultant. Early in his career, he searched for turn-key interactive techniques that could be customized. But they didn’t exist. So, he went out and created them.
Over the last 25 years and with his company Extreme Meetings®, Brian has been perfecting interactive techniques in training classes and conferences all over the country. He has developed a reputation and brand as an exceedingly interactive trainer and speaker. But the secret is... it’s the techniques.
That’s why the heads of training departments, corporate trainers, and independent trainers and speakers have for years been asking if they could license these proven Extreme Meetings® techniques WITH all of the scripts and production assets that go with them. The answer has been no...until now.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
“The in-class live demo videos show you (Brian) being very funny. If I’m NOT all that funny of a trainer will the techniques still work as well?”
Yes...because the structure of the techniques is itself funny. For example, when you facilitate Flag Poll everyone will laugh the moment they start waiving their flags. It doesn’t matter if you say the question in a funny way or not. And in Would You Rather...the two extreme choices themselves are funny simply by you reading them out loud. Don’t worry, you WILL get laughs while they learn.
-
“Our Marketing department is extremely rigid. Can I make the Extreme® Trainings Techniques PowerPoint decks align with our brand standards?”
You can modify the color palette to match your company colors, insert your logo, and change the font to match your brand guidelines. You also have the option to retain Extreme® Trainings to fully customize the colors for your company.
-
“I’m an independent speaker, not really a trainer. Can I still license these interactive techniques and use them for meetings and conferences with my external clients?"
Absolutely.
-
“How do I actually access the techniques and materials?”
Once you enroll with Extreme® Trainings, you will have 24/7 access on any device to all of the scripts, PowerPoint decks, demo videos, and step by step how-to videos/pdfs. This makes it convenient for you to learn and try out the techniques at your own pace.
-
“While I really like the idea of the Flag Poll technique, there’s no way I’m going to get approved to buy sets of flags for all the people in my monthly orientation classes. Are there any other options for this?"
Definitely. We have a demo video and instructions on how you can use colored index cards instead of flags. They work JUST as well. Really! Participants SEE the flag image on the screen so that’s in their minds. And as long as you REFER to the cards as flags, everyone will act as if they ARE flags...and wave them like crazy! You CAN get great interaction with humble index cards.
