The practicalapplicability of the adultlearning theory provides amajor contribution to IODsand other organizationswishing to market newapproaches and skillsthat help build boards’capacity to follow corporategovernance principles.The facilitators began by exploring the major challenges the Training Resources,particularly the ELC, poses to trainers, particularly how it pushes them out of theircomfort zones to develop new training approaches to engage adult learners.Three profiles of trainers were used to illustrate some of the challenges and successesthat may arise based on a trainer’s education, professional experience, and motivationsfor becoming a trainer.From these profiles, the discussion turned to the emergence of “second generationtrainers,” those who had been trained by “master trainers” through the Forum’s TOTprogram. Questions that emerged included:> Who were the master trainers?> Was there a need for evaluating trainers at the TOT to identify the followingcategories• Master trainer status ability to train others• Competence to lead CG modules• Competence to co-present CG modules• Further development required> Did the master trainers need additional support in developing second generationtrainers?
