Even though it can be intimidating to train a group of high-level leaders, this could be a part of the role of the next Corporate Trainer at this organization. Your interviewer wants assurance that you are confident enough in your training abilities and presentation skills to deliver an effective training session, regardless of the seniority of the people you are training. If you have direct experience in providing manager, director, or even higher levels of training, be sure to talk in detail about the materials you presented and be open and honest about what aspect you enjoyed and what you found to be challenging. Be sure to talk about the size of the group that you presented to and how you handled the entire training to give your interviewer the sense that you can handle providing leadership training at their organization.

"Last year, I was tasked by my organization's CEO to present a training on diversity and inclusion in the workplace to our senior-level management team. I was asked to put this together on pretty short notice. To start the process, I discussed with our CEO to understand his goal for the training. Knowing that he wanted to help build awareness among the leadership staff on the benefits of a diverse and inclusive workforce, I was able to pull some great materials and information and put together a great presentation for our senior leaders. I presented the information at a monthly meeting that the group had and was given 30 minutes. Knowing that the information would generate great discussion, I planned my presentation for 20 minutes, and the open time at the end was left open for the group of 12 people to discuss questions and thoughts. While I was initially nervous about doing this with the team, it ended up working out great and my CEO was very happy with the results. I would say the most challenging piece was tailoring my presentation to a leadership level, where they could take information and disperse it among their staff."
