Why do trainers have toys in workshops?

I think it is really important to explain why you have toys in a training room, delegates need the intellectual reasoning.
A simple brief introduction and then they have permission to play, no explanation and there is a certain amount of fear attached to these random items. My simple summary is, at nuggets we use accelerated learning techniques, which means we want to appeal to all your five senses and how we do that is as follows:-
- Visual – coloured posters/pens/postits
- Auditory – music (sadly no requests)!!
- Olfactory – scented markers
- Gustatory – fruit
- Touch – the toys!! when people doodle in meetings or click a pen a good sign shows that they are still engaged. The toys are tactical and believe it or not hold attention.
Working together effectively...
Not just a reflective tool...
Making the process fun & motivating...
Becoming a better person and Leader...
3 words as a compass for your day and your year...
Impactful learning in bite size chunks...
Simple acts of kindness not only benefit the recipient they can hugely benefit the giver
"Not so much about finding yourself its about taking the time to just meet YOU"
Take time to be kind to you and others...
Own it...
Bringing life to your values...
Why do they matter?
