Strengthen your training by creating a community for your clients around your brand

Do your learners interact with each other, build off of each other’s successes and support each other through challenges related to their tasks at hand? If not, perhaps they are lacking a sense of community. A community provides all of these key elements and more, enabling each learner to gain so much more than physically attending your training sessions.

An essential part of generating brand awareness is creating a strong community comprised of your learners. Building a community founded upon your brand’s values can help strengthen your training and drive participant engagement. When there’s a strong community vibe between your learners, people are engaged and are encouraged to use their voices to express some of their hurdles along the way and to articulate how they overcame them by completing their given tasks. It allows people to share their challenges and work together to fix and modify them. A community creates an environment for people to feel belonged and to motivate one another through the training course.

Community extends far beyond the confines of the classroom and beyond the course duration. Therefore, once this community with your clients is built, it is essential that it is maintained. The most crucial time to maintain this sense of community is when people are feeling discouraged with their training. When someone builds a solid connection with people in the same shoes,  a sort of “safe space” is created for people to encourage each other. Especially if attendees participate in the training online rather than in person, they may feel isolated.
