How do you hold a room’s attention?

How do you turn information into participation?

How do you adapt when the people in the room respond differently than expected?

How do you create learning that people remember and use?

How do you facilitate confidently without losing your authentic style?

The International Trainer’s Training goes beyond presentation skills or course design alone.

It brings together presentation, facilitation, audience engagement and learning-experience design — helping you move from simply delivering content toward creating experiences that engage, inspire and transform.

This is an experiential program. You learn the principles by experiencing them, practising them and applying them to something real throughout the training.
Bring an idea, topic, talk, workshop or training need of your own and develop it as your capability develops.

Upon completion of each course, participants will receive a certificate of completion and earn 24 CCEUs.

What skills will I walk away with WHEN THE COURSE IS OVER?

This is an experiential program for people who want to become more capable designers and facilitators of learning.

It brings together four capabilities that are often taught separately:

PRESENTATION - Communicate ideas clearly and memorably.

FACILITATION - Engage the people in the room and work with what emerges.

AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT - Create participation, attention and involvement.

LEARNING-EXPERIENCE DESIGN - Turn content into an intentional journey of learning.

You don't simply study these principles. You experience them, practise them and apply them to something real of your own.

What changes will I experience AFTER STUDYING THE INTERNATIONAL TRAINER'S TRAINING?

You will transition:

FROM DELIVERING CONTENT TO CREATING AN EXPERIENCE
Develop the ability to move beyond presenting information and create an intentional journey around it.

FROM SPEAKING TO A ROOM TO FACILITATING THE ROOM
Become more aware of the people in front of you (how they are responding, participating and engaging ) and learn how to adapt.

FROM KNOWING YOUR TOPIC TO KNOWING HOW PEOPLE LEARN FROM IT
Learn how structure, language, stories, activities and demonstrations can work together to create meaningful learning.

FROM LEARNING IN THEORY TO BUILDING SOMETHING REAL
Bring your own topic, talk, workshop or training need and apply what you learn throughout the experience.

The International Trainer's Training - What Our Attendees Had To Say

"I really enjoyed participating in Part 1 of The International Trainer's Training with Marilyn Atkinson. Having the privilege of learning from her onsite in Barcelona was truly inspiring and transformational. I learned that impactful presenting is not only about delivering content, but about creating connection, trust, and a meaningful journey for the audience. I’m taking away practical tools to make my sessions more engaging, authentic, and transformational."

Pilar Navarro Business Development, Demand Management Office at SAP EMEA | PCC Coach ICF

"Marilyn embodied transformational training perfectly, blending interactive learning, demos, storytelling, and practice time with peers. Her way of teaching is so actionable. She would teach a framework and then let us apply it to our craft and present it to our group right away. I felt my mind expanding and stretching in so many ways, and I was blown away!

Working with other coaches, receiving constructive feedback during practices, and learning from their experiences broadened my perspective on coaching applications across various fields. During the training, I could already see how pivotal this experience would be in helping me become a better coach and trainer for my clients and students.

As soon as I returned to Istanbul, I facilitated an in-person, client-only workshop and used everything I had learned. The session was impactful both for me, in solidifying my learning, and for my clients, in supporting their growth as business owners."

Maika Endo Entrepreneur Coach & Mentor

"This course has reconnected me to my passion for facilitating, learning and letting a spark grow into a huge flame. We revisited all the important elements that make delivering training the most valuable bit for the client, the audience and oneself. It is a well-rounded course that goes far beyond standard classroom learning to the deep skills of getting people on board."

Dr. Nannette Reuther Speaker, Executive Coach (ICF PCC, ACTC) & Accredited Supervisor (EMCC)

"The International Trainer's Training with Marilyn Atkinson was an inspiring and highly practical experience. I gained valuable skills to present with greater confidence, clarity, and impact, while focusing on what is most relevant for the audience. I will apply these skills in my own trainings to deliver content in a way that creates impact, inspires engagement, and motivates audiences to take meaningful action in their personal and professional lives."
