This document provides tips for creating highly engaging team trainings. It emphasizes the importance of buy-in from participants, establishing psychological safety, and using mystery, stories, activities, and visuals to engage participants. It also recommends closing trainings by reviewing key lessons and switching between solo, small, and large group work. Filling spaces with music and modeling success are also suggested as ways to focus energy and attention. The overall message is that trainings should incorporate discussion, practice and interactive elements rather than just lectures to maximize participant engagement and learning.
