Beyond the Slide Decks

Unlock the Science and Soul of Transformational Training

What separates a forgettable training session from one that changes lives? Why do some trainers inspire breakthroughs while others struggle to hold attention? In The Psychology and Craft of Transformational Training, Arindam distils decades of research, real-world experience, and neuroscience into a masterclass for trainers, facilitators, and leaders who want to move beyond information delivery—and into transformation.

This book is not just another manual on presentation skills. It’s a deep dive into the why behind learning, the how of engagement, and the what that makes training stick. You’ll discover:

• The Pygmalion Effect: How your beliefs about learners shape their success (and how to harness this power intentionally).
• The Myth of Learning Styles: Why the popular “visual/auditory/kinaesthetic” model is debunked by science—and what actually works.
• The Chameleon Trainer’s Playbook: How to adapt your approach for boardrooms, warehouses, virtual rooms, and cross-cultural audiences.
• The Feedback Revolution: How to deliver criticism that fuels growth, not fear.
• The Energy Equation: Proven strategies to sustain engagement (even after lunch).
• The Art of Recovery: How to turn training disasters into unforgettable learning moments.

Packed with actionable frameworks, case studies, and exercises, this book is your blueprint for designing sessions that don’t just inform—they transform. Whether you’re a corporate trainer, educator, or team leader, you’ll walk away with tools to:
✔️ Read a room—and adjust your approach in real time.
✔️ Handle resistance—and turn sceptics into allies.
✔️ Design multi-sensory experiences that lock in learning.
✔️ Align stakeholders—so training drives real business impact.

Who is this book for?

• Coaches and mentors who want to deepen their impact
