The heart of this session is for trainers to understand that facilitation is not only about being informative but being entertaining too. Too many times we've sat in trainings with a very knowledgeable person presenting content that would never be remembered; let alone understood and acted upon. Poor facilitation is forgotten content. Attendees will learn the symptoms of poor audience engagement, how to connect with their audience, and how to create an engaging learning environment.
