“My three takeaways from this program:

Structure of presentations, importance of storytelling, and the value of having an audience to run your presentations by prior to going live with them.

This program has increased my ability to focus my message on any given subject without feeling the need to dump every bit of what’s in my brain on them.

Thank you for this course and for the opportunities you have given me! I am eternally grateful!!”

I really enjoyed exploring the different types of learners and discovering strategies to better engage with a diverse audience. This will help me connect with people more effectively in future teaching opportunities.

The course provided clear frameworks for structuring content in a way that makes complex material approachable and easy to apply.

I gained greater confidence in my ability to step into a trainer role — not just sharing knowledge but facilitating meaningful learning experiences.

I would love to contribute by creating new content, especially in the areas of infant and child development, milestones, primitive reflexes, and working with special populations within the pediatric chiropractic realm. This could include materials not only for chiropractors, but also for parents and other professionals we collaborate with. I am also eager to assist in hands-on classes within the pediatric certification series, as I know how valuable that practical learning is. Beyond content and assisting, I want to continue growing as a chiropractic educator and am open to additional opportunities where I can support the Institute’s educational process and mission.

Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson are truly incredible mentors. Their feedback and encouragement have been invaluable in helping me grow not only as a chiropractor, but also as an individual. The Train the Trainer program itself challenged me to step outside of my comfort zone and gave me the tools and confidence to level up as an educator. I am continually impressed by their passion for teaching and their commitment to advancing the profession. The way they balance deep expertise with genuine care for their students makes the learning experience both inspiring and impactful.

“My takeaways from the Train the Trainer program are: It’s important to consider that not everyone learns the same way and that you need to make your presentation for a variety of learning styles. It’s also important to have an outline of what you wish to speak about no matter if it’s a short or longer presentation, and make sure you circle back to your key points.

This course has been really self-reflective about my own learning styles and how I interact with people I am trying to teach to.

I really felt this program was well organized and had a lot of great examples of teaching styles. It was fun to even watch you and Marty learn from the guest speaker you had, even after teaching for so many years…there is always more to learn!”

“Learning the different ways that people acquire knowledge was awesome! Using a roadmap or structured format to create content and presentations is priceless. It allows you to focus on being creative with the content and organizing it in a way that makes it easier for the student to learn.

I’ve had the ability in the last 3 years to be on stage or in front of hundreds if not thousands of chiropractors and students. This terrified me, it felt like I was just shooting from the hip, all the time. Having this course under my belt has helped me to organize the content that I’m delivering which makes the presentations easier to build and easier to deliver.

If you plan on being in front of people and delivering information, whether it is a seminar setting, patient education classes, table talk, patient reports – ALL of these avenues of communication will get stronger with this class.

It was an awesome class and opportunity to learn from two amazing chiropractors!”

My 3 Takeways:
Having participated in the program the number one ‘take away’ has been the exposure of not being able to effectively ‘teach the lesson’ at hand. I took the ‘step’ and realized my inadequacies to convey the material. This was an invaluable experience!

The second take away was revealing my strengths of being an effective motivator in a smaller group or with a one on one interaction. I realized that through my experiences and ‘story telling’ I can be a highly transformative force in impacting the life of the group/individual…both personally and professionally. I am more about the ‘big picture’ than the intricate details.

For the years I have been with you guys I realized how detailed and intricate Marty’s teaching is! Reaching that ‘bar’ would be a goal of mine if I was Kenny or Courtney’s age…or even younger. I don’t desire to do that. Yet, I discovered that I can bring an additional “flavor” to the vast information that Marty presents in the ‘fire hydrant’ method.

The ‘work’ from this program has changed my life P&P by creating a greater awareness of who ‘I am’ as a person…on and off the ‘ball field.’ I am laser focused when I am working…my mind and heart is going in so many pathways of protocols and procedures in a ‘controlled’ manner thus allowing me to sense what I am doing next…and nearly ten steps ahead. In my personal life I find myself being more detailed in my daily life. It has helped me to procrastinate less…although when I do I have learned to forgive my ‘self’ and move on…eventually getting ‘it’ done…as this for example! I also realize that the ‘more’ I learn the ‘less’ I appear to know! I like that!!!

I am in deep gratitude and appreciation for ALL you have done and continue to do for me…and also giving me the opportunity to give back. I know I say this all the time…but I must say it!

I went for coffee today at a local coffee shop spot in Red Bank…I held the door open for a guy exiting with a bucket of water…he was the owner. He said to me, ‘thanks…no I really mean it! THANKS! You’re a really special person…and don’t let anyone tell you differently! Have a great day…and THANKS again!’ One must have gratitude…and be humble…It’s what I receive when assisting you guys and the Docs at the seminars.”
