Delivering Training

As mentioned in Creating Passion-Driven Teams, "the ability to get up and talk does not a trainer make."

Aside from knowing about different learning styles and the ways to reach them, you should know--and practice-- some specific standup training skills.  Here are a few:  

Speaking

• If using a microphone, be sure to test it BEFORE you start training
• Speak clearly - articulate your words
• Hint: Record yourself doing the training before you present it. You will learn a LOT!

Eye Contact

• One thought per pair of eyes 
• Speak to the audience, not your notes

Movement

• Keep your hands hanging free, out of your pockets. 
• Use gestures for emphasis - avoid crossing arms or putting them behind your back
• Get out from behind the podium as much as possible

Visual Aids

• If using PowerPoint, avoid walls of text. Instead: 
  • Find quality images that depict your message and use one per slide
  • Resize the image so it fills the entire slide 
  • It's great if the image has an area for a small amount of text
  • Use very few words on the slide, layered over the image
  • Position words carefully for visual balance and impact
  • Never, never, never read your slides to the audience
• Keep other visual aids "hidden" until you're ready to use them
• Avoid issuing handouts until you are ready for them (if possible)
• Ensures handouts are easy to read
• Do not talk while handouts are being issued (nobody pays attention)
• Provide links for "more information"
• If using graphs, make them easy to read, with 4 colors maximum
