Have you ever noticed how good it feels when someone really listens to you? When we are listened to, our feelings and needs are taken into account, we are  more relaxed and open, and we feel we can achieve our objectives. The goal of this program is to help participants get these kinds of results when communicating with others. The IDX Ready programs are fast to prepare, easy to deliver, and learners love them!”  

•     Fast to Prepare  

Because everything you need to deliver an idXready program is in the box, prep time is minimal. Users will find a detailed Leader’s Guide, professional PowerPoint, and contemporary video—all on the idXready USB drive included in the package. The Leader’s Guide includes detailed learning objectives, activities, and transitions, along with thumbnails of the corresponding PowerPoint slide and Participant Workbook, making it easy to prepare for an upcoming training session.  

•        Easy to Deliver  

Synchronization is the key to delivering an idXready program—whether you are new to training, or you are a seasoned trainer. Each Leader’s Guide page corresponds to the PowerPoint slide, which corresponds to the personalized Participant Workbook, making it easy to keep everyone on task. Contemporary video, designed with the millennial learner in mind, is contained on the USB drive, and during the training session, is viewed right through the PowerPoint. No messing with switching between PowerPoint and video—the right video clip is shown with the click of your mouse.  

•        Learners Love It  

Learners engage an idXready training session because they each receive a personalized workbook, containing specific application information based on their pre-work. “About You” sections throughout the personalized workbook make learning relevant to each unique learner. In addition, personalized workbooks and engaging, memorable learning activities and video segments set the stage for turning training into action when they return to the workplace after the training session, making the training session well worth their time.
