Training for Using the new Consultant Planner

We have begun training our staff in using the new Consultant Planner in a classroom setting, and have learned more about it by learning from each other. The online training (see

https://www.lds.org/topics/family-history/my-calling/helping-others?lang=eng&old=true ) provides a sound description of the six principles you are invited to use in preparing your lesson, which are:

   1. Prepare Spiritually

   2. Discover Their Goals

   3. Get Access to Their Family Tree

   4. Prepare and Deliver a Personalized Lesson

   5. Point Them to the Temple

   6. Find Others to Teach

The Consultant Planner page at familysearch.org/ask/planner

provides two methods for adding individuals to your list of people that you are helping.

When you pull up the Consultant Planner page for an individual 

you will see their 6-generation fan chart and be able to explore strategies for helping them.

The brief YouTube video (see link below) will show some aspects of our training class.
