Sofema Aviation Services offers a look at content from our 5-Day EASA Part 145 / Part 147 Instructor Techniques Train the Trainer Course.
Best practices for presentations:
Grab the Floor – Shock the Audience!
Tease and Inspire – draw the students into your presentation – interact
If we start with downbeat comments we will very quickly lose the audience – if you can use some relevant statistics or eye-opening facts.
Tell a story.
We all like Stories (if they connect) So to use real-life (best) or invented (still ok) examples, and use illustrative metaphors to prove your points. The more connected examples you can call on, then the more people will want to pay attention.
Know your Material!
If you know your script then you become the master of the presentation you are able to entertain as well as deliver.
Make sure you connect with the Audience!
Try to minimize the reading of Factual and Data Information (out of context) People don’t attend presentations to be read the information they could read themselves. They want new insights and personally related information with which they can resonate.
Use Emotion
If you are able to invest emotionally into your presentation you will keep your students on board and enable a better learning experience.
With animation and emotion, you can put real texture into your presentation.
Control the Volume & Pace of Delivery
Modulate your voice by speaking normally and raising to make a point. Talking a little faster for less important or well-known material and slow way down to focus on important content – Use the power of silence
Student Involvement
Involve students by engaging in various interactions which will raise the learning opportunity.
Maintain Humour
Try to find humour throughout the presentation – when they laugh you win & when they smile you win.
Maintain a connected humour the more relevant the more value.
Why Slide Reading is Bad!
Avoid reading directly slide content if at all possible! Reading the slides aloud can even make the presentation somewhat boring.
Speak to the subject and let your slides speak for themselves.
