Hi!

I am an very experience stand-up trainer/facilitator who has had little experience facilitating in management and/or leadership training.

Because I had also had limited management experience myself, I am seeking any suggestions or guidance for making myself appear credible in managment and/or leadership training sessions.

First, never say that you have limited experience in front of anyone!!!!

If a student asks a question about a particular situation that you don't have experience with, simply acknowledge the question and suggest that it's a great topic to talk about. Ask others how they might have handled the situtation.

Facilitate instead of teaching.

Make sense?

Elizabeth,
Suggestions for the long term, Online Certificate in Management/leadership, from a known institution,converse with managers at all levels especially ones in your line of business, join special interest groups
read management newsletters, books, journals and above all start thinking like one.
Fit the above to necessity and goals. it will take time.

I am right there with Mitch - facilitate rather than teach.

And I would add - BELIEVE, you have the ability to lead a group of high level managers/leaders. Because, if you don't it comes through - and if you DO, it comes through.

J-Stafford, Mitch says student, you say high level manager, would you still be right there with Mitch?
