⟩ Tell me when have you led a training course that did not live up to your expectations? What happened? What did you learn from it?
I have led workshops that were developed by others in my organization that did not live up to my expectations, because they were not designed well. What I found was that the structure was not one that worked for me, that sometimes the information was outdated or incomplete, and that the designer had not planned for the types of questions the facilitator might encounter. As a result, I learned two things: that I must spend more preparation time with trainings that I have not designed myself in order to acquaint myself thoroughly with the information, and that I must be willing to change up the training in order to suit my style and be responsive to the needs of the audience. After every training I did the same workshop, I evaluated how it went and updated information accordingly, so that I was always prepared for questions and concerns that arose.
