Incorporate Adult principles of Learning: Developed in the 70's, they still ring true today. Knowing how adults learn helps us cater to their requirements, maximize experiential learning and providing a transformative outcome
How can you excite your learners so they have the zest for learning as much as you do? Understand what is fuelling your passion,
the bigger, more meanigful picture, what does it represent? What does success look like at the end of the course. Learning is
a journey, it is continuous, it is our job to keep the passion and enthusiasm alive and transferable.
As a facilitator your role is to deliver content where required and allow the session to flow organically. Encourage participation, group dialogue, share different perspectives, challenge each others ideas and step in when needed. Create a safe environment and invite the participants to try out new ideas, explore their curiosity and evaluate their own learning while moving towards their goals.
Most people have a preferred learning style, this is personal however some content warrants specific delivery styles to support the desired outcomes. Introduce the various delivery styles and allow participants to see what best aligns with them and their objective.
Observe learnerss who naturally like to work alone and those who feel comfortable in a group, invite them to try different learning models.

Pair participants with those who can support them in their learning journey
Provide consistent constructive feedback
Effective classroom set up provides better control as a facilitator and supports the best learning experience and outcomes for the group. Design is based on size of group, required interaction for group learnings, breakouts and to manage difficult learners, if need be. You have the freedom and flexibility to change the room set up as needed as well as to add variation throughout the day to improve conversations, refresh stale energy and manage the classroom dynamics.

Deliver content clearly and concisely. Check for understanding. Take the "I do, you do" approach. Share content then invite group to complete one thing at a time and avoid overwhelm. Their response determines the clarity of your message.

Paint a clear picture in their eye, allow them to vividly see your message
Practice active listening, ensure they feel heard to best support their growth
Set clear expectations, keep your communication simple- easy to understand and implement
35% of communication represents your tone. Inflections, pausing, pace, articulation all influence the level of engagement and meaning behind your message. Hold your audiences attention by managing your vocal expertise. In virtual training, we need to rely more on tone as our body language isn't as prominent as in face to face settings.
Preparation techniques, warm up your vocal cords for a full day of delivery
Ensure your tone is inviting, approachable yet confident
Master the art and science of storytelling, introduce tone, inflection, pace
Pause. Pause for effect, build suspense before or after delivering a bold statement
A successfully delivered program/ meeting is defined by your level of clarity as a facilitator. Are your instructions clear? Are you explaining the why behind your ask, gain consensus of the group to change or try something different.
