Reflect on a facilitated training session you experienced that  affected you either positively or negatively. Describe the methods,  tools, or strategies from the session that you would like to emulate, if  the experience was positive, or avoid, if the experience was negative.  Analyze the facilitated session in terms of the characteristics of adult  learning and effective facilitation that you have learned about in the  course and course readings. Then, explain the role the training played  in improving your individual performance and whether or not the learning  objectives and design supported overall organizational improvement.

Your initial post should be 250 to 300 words. Use this week’s lecture  as a foundation for your initial post. In addition to the Blanchard and  Thacker (2013) text, use at least one additional scholarly source to  support your discussion.

Respond to at least two other posts regarding items you found to be  compelling and enlightening. To help you with your reply, please  consider the following questions:

• What did you learn from the posting?
• What additional questions do you have after reading the posting?
• What clarification do you need regarding the posting?
• What differences or similarities do you see between your initial discussion thread and your classmates' postings?
• Compare the characteristics you identified with those identified by  others. Are there commonalities between your examples that could lead to  a list of “best practices” for effectively facilitating a session?
