Art and Craft of Presenting - Excerpt 5

As you may recall from our first four excerpts of The Art and Craft of Presenting, we began using the analogy of The Athlete Presenter and dividing the process into the following segments:

• Get organised!
• Identifying target audience, clarifying outcomes, timescales etc.
• Get ready!
• “Race day” warm-up, visualisation, race tactics and strategies.
• Get set!
• What to do just before the gun goes
• Go!
• Opening with a bang and how to deliver your message with a little magic
• Pacing
• Managing energy and attention during the presentation
• Finishing
• How to switch on the afterburners so that your message moves on after you finish.
• Warm-down and stretching
• Making sure there is follow-through on your message and you learn something for the next race.

Brewster Gheislin

Training Tool of the Month Tip - Toys in Training

Training sessions should provide participants an opportunity not only to learn new knowledge and acquire relevant skills but also to have an enjoyable experience. Toys at the training table, facilitation room or presentation help set a tone that learning and listening is fun, heightens participant interest in the training session, creates comfortable space, and gives participants the license to approach training in a different way .
