Participants disrupt during a training program majorly for two reasons: 1) They need to clear a doubt or clarify a point, 2) They need attention, which they think they deserve. It is not difficult to analyze the reason behind the question. Rather than stopping participants from asking questions, encourage them to ask questions and seek clarifications. Set expectation from the training. A mismatch in expectations can lead to psychological resistance to learning, and disruptions. The choice of training methods should be such that, it is possible to give required attention to the ‘little professors’ in the classroom. Trainers should be selected based on trainers knowledge, experience and training skills.

I have encountered the situations wherein the participants wanted to prove that they know more than the trainer. However, this has happened only twice. In such situations, I asked them to prove their point and the calm was restored immediately.

Effectively managing a disruptive participant in training revolves around a blend of empathy, professionalism, and proactive communication. I first acknowledge the disruption calmly, ensuring it does not derail the session, and then privately address the participant—expressing my appreciation for their contributions while clarifying the impact of their behavior on fellow participants. I set clear expectations for engagement and reiterate the training objectives to refocus the group.This approach not only restores harmony but also reinforces a culture of respect and collaboration within the training sessions.
