Anxiety, natural phenomena that leads us to nervousness that can lead to failure. A trainer might be great at the concept they will be presenting, but knowing and standing in front of large group to not only present, but also answering questions and solving problems can be a tough task. A question arises then, how to be confident for presentation?
Some of the challenges that can occur is tough audiences, repetitive disruption, lack of flow in instruction and many others. Techniques to reduce disruptions will help to become confident and take audiences into full confidence.
Sometimes trainers can have a problem to present as they have not set a tone of when questions should be asked. As soon as the trainer starts to talk, some audience starts to ask question which leads the seminar to a totally different direction. Now if this audience is a manager or director, it could be hard to say anything but deal with the disruption that leads to loose of control over the entire seminar.
Below are some helpful steps to deal with this:
- Walk in the training seminar with confidence.
- Have a fine tuned overview that would mention the steps training seminar will follow.
- Be clear on how training will be structured.
- Divide the training into sessions that are small and have common topics. After every section, plan a question/answer section.
- If a question can be answered quickly, do so. However for detailed questions, answer in brief that can be followed up after training.
