Trainer Training: Who Is In Control?

When raising a child, pediatricians will suggest to the parents that they ask themselves “Who is in control here?” As a trainer, we have to ask the same question: Are our visual aids, or ourselves (the trainer) the ones in control (if the answer is our audience- that is a completely separate topic which will be discussed in the future). 

 

 

We must always be in control of our presentation and our class structure. Once we lose that control, our student loses the purpose of their training: to convey the material in a way that the participants will be able to absorb and use.  

 

    How do we lose control?  

  • Boring the participants by going into too much detail
  • Expecting audio visual material to do all the training  
  • Allowing the participant to take control
  • Not having a full understanding of the materials  
  • Using methods of teaching students cannot relate to
  • Unengaging presentations
  • Non-Verbal messages contrasting with words   

 We have all had training sessions that could have been much more effective. PrepMasters’ purpose is to help you maximize the effectiveness of your presentations. We plan to discuss the above issues in further posts. Please let us know your suggestions or questions. We can all learn from each other!
