Train the Trainer Options: Corporate Unconscious Bias, Sexual Violence Prevention Educators, Military, Higher Education

The Force of Awesome Institute & Complementary Training

Our Train the Trainer programs (better known as The Force of Awesome Institute) help leaders and prevention educators learn to deliver powerful, impactful programs. We take institutional leadership and prevention educators from good to great.

Training the Trainers

We designed the Force of Awesome Institute (also known as FOAI) just for you: passionate, overworked individuals tasked with the enormous responsibility of teaching the toughest content out there. No matter your audience or subject matter, you deserve to be trained how to design and deliver the best content possible. You deserve that, and so do the communities you serve.
Getting your Hands Dirty

Force of Awesome Institutes, while content-rich, are not “information dumps.” The research we share highlights the most relevant research in the fields of education, psychology, sociology, and moral development, as they apply to our specific content areas. We teach participants how to utilize that research strategically, and actionably—it’s not helpful if they can’t integrate it into their practice.

Transferring capacity to prevention educators, corporate employees, military professionals, and higher education staff members.

Testimonials

I doubt I'd still be working at my agency without FOAI

I had very little training or support from my manager or coworkers (coworkers didn't know my job either) and going through this opportunity, now we have a model to build from. We should have time to support and critique each other as a professional community in order to serve the state as effectively as possible. I have already talked to several colleges and friends about the "make it moral" approach, instead of fighting about the law. I have talked to them about the separation of artist from their art, and this has provoked some very interesting conversations. I believe that I have learned some new skills for facilitating discussions and asking important clarifying questions.
Testimonials

The facilitator skills modeled from Day 1 were remarkable and inspiring.

I was anxious going into the training, as I felt like I was going to be told that I should act a particular way "on stage." In the first hour of the program I was relaxed and feeling comfortable because the instruction was very clear; the Force of Awesome Institute is meant to build upon your skills and style. The presenters built a very comfortable environment which made the entire room feel like a group of equals.
Testimonials

We were all really amazed and admired how well the facilitators gave feedback and were able to give real feedback so quickly.

They did a great job of practicing what they teach, as all of them gave great presentations. We were able to feel comfortable really quickly, we were able to see them work together as a team and be flexible, and we were able to learn a lot.
Testimonials

As a one-woman department, I feel a great responsibility to carry out the mission and spread our message in a positive, effective way.

FOAI has grown my confidence and helped me accomplish this.
Testimonials

I feel like before I was doing decent work, but by not being grounded in a deeper understanding of how people learn

and make decisions about change, I wasn't able to do great work. I am so hopeful moving forward this semester b/c I feel like now I am better prepared to handle the difficult comments that pop up and am able to adjust my presentations to actually make change at a deeper level.
