I am delivering Situational Leadership as a 1 day session when in the past I am used to 2 days. Be happy to chat with any trainers who have done this and what key messages to you keep in.
Also, any good tactics to engage a group of people who, initially, may struggle to get the concept as they are very "stuck in old ways"
Its a great model and gets great results but cutting it into 1 day......is this going to lose its message?
Waiting patiently for experts on here to give my some top tips!
Many thanks
Jude

It's always going to be difficult cutting a day, I'd approach it by looking at it from the
"what will have the most impact in a face to face environment" perspective.
You don't want to get them in a room and then talk at them / present information / theory at them.
If you haven't checked out the benefits of the flipped classroom approach there is a cool infographic here.
Sounds like this would be a good opportunity to put it in to practice...
Thanks Mike. The reasons for the 1 day is that this will be for the fire service and due to changes/cuts etc it is very hard to get people in a training sessions for more than 1 day. I have been thinking about some pre work, activites. That is still in the thought process.
Thanks for getting back to me and I will put some thought into this and load some suggestions on here for any delivery trainers.
Good morning Jude,
This is an interesting one - I've attended a Blanchard Situational Leadership session myself and remember it being one day. What are the reasons why it's been cut to one day - what's the thinking / business reason behind it?
The fact that it's been cut to one day AND the the group are 'stuck in their ways' may mean some challenges for you.....
I think for me you of course need to focus on the day activities so I'd start at the learning / performance outcomes - what are your (and your stakeholder) expectations following the workshop - what do the group need to be doing differently and how are you going to measure / track this?
If you are losing a day face to face - is there any other way you can build in activities or work prior to the face to face time to make that time more practical / specific to the learning outcomes?
