How Do I Deliver a Heartfelt Vote of Thanks After a Training Program?

Vote of Thanks for a Training Program

What should be the possible content of a "Vote of Thanks" following a training program or presentation? I am tasked with delivering the vote of thanks after a training program conducted by an external consultant in my organization.

A vote of thanks requires you to Prepare and Perform. Here are some tips for you to follow and apply when giving your vote of thanks.

Prepare

- Listen to the speaker and make notes on key points.
- Note points to appreciate the speaker's style and content.
- Create a link between key inputs of the topic and its relevance to the audience.
- Work out how all can benefit from the inputs.
- Think of a good conclusion or winding-up statement.

Perform

- Link the topic, the speaker's inputs, and the learning for the gathering while thanking the speaker for the excellent inputs shared.
- Draw attention to key points, the style of the speaker, enthusiasm, and personalization for the audience.
- Personalize the Vote of Thanks:
• Highlight some learning from the talk that you will use.
• Narrate an incident or humorous facet or a quotation to emphasize the learning or style.
• Make a suggestion as to how learning can be applied immediately.

Thank again and seek audience applause.

Best Wishes
