Greetings are an important part of getting your training off on the right foot.
When you think about greeting your participants, put yourself in their shoes
and think of the things that appeal to you when you attend training
somewhere.
Some key elements typically include:
The instructor greeting participants as they come in the door, with an invitation to come in (and
sometimes, sign in)
Request from the instructor for participants to make themselves a name tag or tent card
Trainees introducing themselves individually, or for large groups, introduced at their tables)
Some type of icebreaker takes place
Trainer is introduced
The trainer and the room are prepared, ready, and welcoming
Instructor is obviously prepared
Agenda is reviewed
Participants are asked about their expectations and learning objectives
