You can and you will with your natural skills in dealing with people.

There’s more to a trainer than just having exemplary public speaking skills. Trainers need to have a natural liking for people and find it effortless in dealing with them. Trainers have the talent to present themselves with confidence before a large audience and the aptitude to create and design training materials relevant to their audience.

For you to be a good trainer you should have the flexibility to deal with unexpected moments, a good sense of humour and needless to say, a never ending passion about the subject matter presented.

If you have the knack for it, go for it.

It is also important to know that there is a big difference between normal teaching and workplace training. Teaching is usually associated with a classroom lecture wherein the teacher takes on the authority figure role over his or her students who are more likely to follow his or her instructions.

Trainers, on the other hand, provide their “students” with the tools and skills they need to change behaviour or to develop new skills. Since trainers mostly deal with mature audiences, changing behaviours or imparting new skills can be very challenging as these audiences already have their own experiences and perceptions. Trainers ought to build a strong connection to their subjects to get their message or mission across.

Training others is a gift; a formal qualification for it is essential.
