Spotlight: Hearing Loss: Why It Matters for Trainers and Facilitators

Spotlight Sessions are run by Trainer Talk members (who are freelance trainers) for freelance trainers.

Hearing Loss: Why It Matters for Trainers and Facilitators (with Alex Elvin)

The session will cover:

• Deaf awareness for facilitators/ trainers
• Risks and benefits of being accessible for people with hearing loss
• Some tips as to how to be more inclusive for people with hearing loss in design and delivery

Sessions will be recorded and available to view up to two weeks after the event.

These sessions are open to freelance trainers outside of The Trainer Talk membership (for a small charge) and to our Trainer Talk membership (for free).

What Is Trainer Talk?

Trainer Talk is a membership community for freelance trainers, a one-stop shop for business growth. We attract trainers who are serious about growing their business with the support of like minded people who are usually experiencing the same challenges! Freelance training can be lonely. It needn't be!

Having a community behind you is so important when you’re self-employed. It gives you a sense of belonging, of being understood and knowing that you’re not alone.

This is what Trainer Talk is all about. It’s a fun, friendly, vibrant online and in-person community exclusively made up of trainers.

Every member ‘gets it’. They know what it’s like to look for training contracts, to pitch for work, to wrestle with what to charge, to juggle training with admin or outsourcing, and so much more.

Far from being competitive with one another, Trainer Talk members act as collaborators, supporters, the most enthusiastic cheerleaders… and we’d love you to become a part of our brilliant community. Sound good? You can find out more here. We hope to see you soon!
