Credibility and flexibility as presenters

"Which of the two presenters - Phil or Ed - do you find better?" Marian wanted to know.

My experience tells me that we need credibility to teach. They have to think we know what we're talking about even if we don't!

Teaching presentations are never the same. Audiences always have different levels of understanding. the most important skill for the trainer is to keep the people engaged and this necessitates an element of audience control to maintain the appropriate pace. Audience participation is critical to success in teaching environments.

As the chinese proverb goes ïnvolvement is the key to understanding."We cannot teach by preaching. Therefore teaching presentations must be flexible and we the presenters must be ready to move wherever is required in the material.
