2025 Advanced Training

LST is pleased to provide specialized online training for experienced Workers throughout the year!  The goal of these workshops is to help experienced Workers stay encouragd and tied to core principles and best practices.

These sessions are for experienced and trained Workers:

• Workers who have been through the core LST Training (Basic Training, a FriendSpeak Training Seminar, or training for an LST mission project).
• Workers who have experience working with an LST Reader.
• Workers who feel comfortable utilizing the LST approach.

For Workers trained by LST, these advanced training sessions are offered for no additional fee.

Each Advanced Training session includes:

• Interaction with other Workers
• Plenty of time for Q and A
• Specific content designed to help improve your conversation session right away.

Descriptions of the sessions:

Each of the following will be offered twice in 2025:

1. Overview of the LST Workbooks - This workshop provides an in-depth look at all 12 workbooks available to you and your Reader(s).
2. Beyond the Basics - This workshop re-visits and builds upon the basic principles and skills all experienced Workers utilize for excellent conversation sessions.
3. Utilizing “conversation topics” to extend and deepen your reading sessions. This workshop digs deeper into the idea of "conversation topics" and how they can help us have excellent conversations with Readers.
