Like it or not, negotiation is a fact of life. Without even knowing it, you negotiate something every day. A discussion on the price you are willing to pay for a house with a stranger or a curfew time with your daughter. Perhaps you will find yourself negotiating with your partner about what to buy, where to eat, what television station to watch or who gets the remote! At work, you’re faced with discussions about a raise with your boss or the perfect time for a meeting with your colleagues.

Definition: A train-the-trainer model enables experienced personnel to show a less-experienced instructor how to deliver and facilitate courses, workshops and seminars. A well executed train-the-trainer program can build a pool of competent instructors who can then teach the material to other people.
You need to plan a Train-the-Trainer session for a number of training consultants to facilitate a large program rollout. Not only do they need to understand the content they'll be training, but they need to be proficient training consultants as well. What do you consider when planning so that your Train-the-Trainer program is a successful?
There is no absolute formula to determining what is needed for a Train-the-Trainer program. Each training need is unique to its environment and circumstance. However, investing time in planning will always make for success during the training rollout.
