When creating versions of a course for specific audiences or knowledge levels,
there are some additional helpful formulas that you can use to get the best
results.

DESCRIBE WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW AND CAN DO. Their main challenge is SPECIFIC
CHALLENGE. They are motivated by 1-2 MOTIVATORS."

Example: Individual Contributors at Company Y are responsible for participating
in coaching conversations with their managers and implementing feedback-driven
action plans. They need clear, straightforward language since teams may include
non-native English speakers. Their knowledge of this topic is limited to basic
feedback conversations and annual reviews. Their main challenge is feeling
unprepared for coaching conversations and not knowing how to actively
participate in the discussion. They are motivated by professional growth
opportunities and wanting to build a stronger partnership with their manager.



What specific action or behavior do you want your learners to demonstrate by the
end of this course?

Prompt: "By the end of the course, AUDIENCE will be able to…ACTION VERB +
SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE OR SKILL for PURPOSE/SITUATION."

Example: By the end of the course, Individual Contributors will be able to
actively prepare for, engage in, and follow through on coaching conversations

growth.

TARGET AUDIENCE'S ROLE. It should cover 2-3 KEY AREAS OF EMPHASIS. The tone
should be [DESCRIBE DESIRED TONE and accommodate ANY SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS OR

the perspective of the Individual Contributor being coached. It should cover

conversations, and how to create/follow through on development plans. The tone
should be encouraging and empowering, helping learners feel confident in taking
ownership of their development while accommodating various English proficiency
levels through clear, concise language.

BUILDING COURSES

 * Keep the objective focused:
   Narrow your scope to specific skills or knowledge areas.

 * Always return to the objective:
   Only include what is needed to drive the objective.

 * Assign a learner persona:
   Avoid the ambiguous “learner,” and focus on the professional that will
   receive the course. E.g., “Bob the sales rep”
   
   * PRO TIP: Ask “Will this help [learner persona, put a name to it!] achieve
     [objective]?”

 * Categorize Content
   
   Core: Main ideas, strategies/steps, critical examples, and calls-to-action.
   
   Flavor: Scenarios, data/facts, and pro tips.
   
   Fluff: Long explanations, detailed background information, fluffy adjectives.

 * Balance the flavor:
   Choose techniques that best drive each lesson's objective.

 * Use valuable questions:
   
   Ask: Is this a question for the sake of a question?”
