CAT’s New Venue!

CAT has a new venue.  We’ll no longer be meeting in our super-secret underground lair, also known as the Car Park.

We will be meeting in a comfortable training room a two-minute walk from the Xinzha Road metro station, which is just one stop from People’s Square on Line 1.  Click on the map below to make it bigger.

From Speaker to Trainer on January 3rd will also be held here.

Speaker to Trainer with Yingdan: 3 January 2010

You can entertain, inform and inspire, but can you train?

3 January, 1-5:30pm: Learn how to be a trainer…

Our facilitator: Yingdan Liu ACS ALS
District 85 Lieutenant Governor for Education and Training
Certified Simultaneous Translator and Senior Toastmaster with great experience delivering dozens of workshops and training sessions.

Speaker to Trainer is the Toastmasters International program specifically designed to help you become a trainer – to bridge the gap between public speaking and delivering effective trainings. Through delivering this session, Yingdan will be completing a requirement towards her Advanced Communicator Gold.Speaker-to-Trainer-Jan-3

In this program you’ll discover the five steps involved in preparing and presenting a training program using adult learning principles. You’ll also learn the role of trainers and the difference between public speaking and training. Along the way, you’ll learn how to make learning experiences enjoyable, how to handle difficult audiences, creating learning activities, using visual aids and designing the training itself.
