"People will pay more to be entertained than they will to be educated..." Johnny Carson

 

Financially, I don't know how true Johnny's statement is. However, having worked with students from 5 to 85 years old, it is extremely true when it pertains to the investment of time and attention. More information is coming at us faster and in greater volume than ever before. the attention span of adult learners is getting increasingly short, making training that much more difficult. Jerry Seinfeld explained this best when he discussed the television viewing and remote control habits of an adult male- "It's not so much that we want to know WHAT'S ON, we want to know WHAT ELSE IS ON! Research has clearly shown that students of any age are best motivated by an approach which combines both intellectual AND emotional material.

All of The Show Works™ seminars and workshops seek to make learning memorable by using magic, comedy and a great deal of audience interaction to communicate the message. Humor and illusions build a rapport which help to overcome the resistant that is often present in adult learners. This creates a fast paced, informative, fun atmosphere in which to learn and grow.
