The full name is 'training to China to training', corresponding to an IPTA trainer certification course. The course covers modules such as trainer conduct and demeanor, dress code, professional qualities, and teaching techniques. The purpose of TTT is to help trainers better convey training content to students and help them absorb it more effectively.
We are constantly in a cycle of sharing, teaching, learning, and absorbing. As the saying goes, 'When three people walk together, one of them can be my teacher.' Conversely, when three people walk together, we also need to become someone else's teacher. Within our social relationships, teaching and learning are everywhere—everyone has something worth learning from, and correspondingly, each of us has experiences worth being learned from. When someone needs your guidance, or you believe your experience should be shared, you need to consider how to increase the effectiveness of the sharing. This is where TTT takes on another meaning: teaching the teacher to teach. Treat yourself as a teacher and figure out how to teach your students well.
Regularly applying TTT to yourself can improve your sharing and teaching abilities, and even identify specific directions to optimize your charisma and influence.
Prop demonstration: when explaining complex relationships among several things, casually pick up a few objects and place them on the table, or draw a diagram, to help the other person understand. At key moments, prepare a board in advance with the keywords written out—holding up signs to explain on the spot makes a deeper impression.
Simulated dialogues come with both voice and visuals, so your presentation is no longer so monotonous. By imitating the neighborhood auntie chatting away with lively gestures and rich expressions, it becomes even more memorable. You can also play two roles in one scenario, simulating a two-person conversation online, making it easy for listeners to understand the specific situation at the time.
In scenario simulations, learn by doing: the master simulates the operation steps while checking the apprentice's learning results. One performs, one learns—through comparison, you can immediately see which movements are not up to standard. The master spots issues quickly, and the apprentice knows exactly what's wrong. This is more efficient than describing things verbally and makes it easier for the apprentice to remember.
TTT thinking is just a mindset—its main purpose is to remind yourself to pay more attention to and reflect on your presentation skills, so as to achieve better sharing results and improve your ability to teach others. With TTT you can 'kick' others or yourself: you can learn from others to critique them, or let others learn from you to critique you. The focus is more on mutual growth through sharing and learning.
