In my professional communication course, we were divided into groups of five students and tasked with the creation of a 55-minute training session. The additional deliverable to the presentation was a facilitator’s guide that includes instructions for running the training session and all necessary handouts, worksheets, and information. Our group’s topic was Practice What You Post: Establishing Your Social Media Brand. Upon completion of these materials, our group presented the training session to our classmates.

​

The presentation was successful, and my professor actually continues to use our facilitator guide and presentation as an example for her current classes. This was a wonderful learning experience between we started at a simple topic, designed activities that related to the topic, built a program around it, and then communicated the value of the skill through a training session to our classmates. I learned so much from this experience – from teamwork skills, workshop design, program implementation, and professional communication skills.
