Osinloye Believes Purpose Driven Trainings Will Shape Africa’s Future

The Head of Business, Training and Facilitating at YeNkosi Africa Limited, Adedipupo Osinloye; believes purpose driven trainings will shape the continent’s future.

He stated that training bodies must educate trainers to deliver trainings that engage, captivate, and stay with employees when the training sessions are over, and they are back on the job.

He asked the audience at his training sessions, “So you have great content for your training session, but how’s your delivery”

Osinloye believes there are seven key ingredients of a successful purpose driven training.

He revealed that trainers must make their key points at the beginning and end of the session and reinforce these essential points in the middle of the session. Usually, learners remember the first things best, the last things second best,and the contents in the middle are hardly ever memorable.

He also said trainers need to present material in chunks, while adding that: “Do not bunch several concepts together in one long presentation. For instance, if you are training on Safety, present the hazards as a ‘chunk’ of information, then ask participants some questions about the material, or take a break. Then present the next “chunk,” such as safety procedures. Make sure there are defined breaks in the presentation that separate each chunk of information.”

Osinloye told participants that instead of trying to achieve goals purposelessly, they should do things with a clear understanding and rationale.

According to him, “If you cannot come up with a specific reason or you do notunderstand why you are doing something, guess what? Do not do it! If you do not understand stage by stage progressions or if you have no idea why you are doing something, why would you continue to include it in your training programme? “I am a big believer in always having a solid “rationale” for everything I do and also in what I teach. For every exercise, every drill, and every activity, I want to challenge you to

ask yourself,‘Why am I doing this’.”

He enjoined participants to attempt outstanding fetes: sometimes comical, noteworthy, out of the ordinary things. It breaks up monotony and refreshes the mind of the listeners.
