Yes, it is a fact that the first thing a trainer must check on his "To do” list is that his presentation is sketched around a catchy subject. After this is settled, all trainers know that the next important steps are building a relation with the audience based on trust and continously nourish it by always being beyond prepared.

All these ingredients seem to create the perfect training recipe, right? But then, after making sure that all is in order, how can you also make sure that the deliverance will not be trapped in a cage of carelessness and distractions?

 

Ask questions

What could determine somebody to pay attention, if not making him/her engage in a dialogue? Indeed, this technique is now perceived as part of a training and most of the participants are already used to considering the questions rhetorical. And this right here is the difference between a well prepared training and a great one. If you plan on making your training great and catch everybody’s attention, make sure that the questions on the list can be a start point for a dialogue. A dialogue between you and the students or between the students themselves. The fact that the answer might not be the perfect one, or that the talk can be easily derailed, is not a matter of concern. What is really important in these cases is that nobody can ignore a topic as long as he is participating in the conversation.

 

Use humour

Humour sells! This is a fact. Humour makes people feel more relaxed and closer to each other and during a class it can dilute the tension and make the entire atmosphere more natural. Even though some people might be more reserved when it comes to a fun environment in a teaching class, odds are that the majority will find it catchy. The students will not feel as though they are constantly examined, but that they are in a friendly environment where they can naturally participate in a discussion.
