Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Summarize and Discuss   As well as giving a quick run-down of what you’ll cover at the start, and a conclusion at the end, include a quick summary after each section to briefly recap what you’ve covered. Then ask for questions. Don’t leave Q&A to the end, or people will have forgotten where they were confused.
  2. Get Personal Start your session with some personal information, or a quick story or anecdote to help your audience to feel comfortable and able to trust you. Then ask participants to share a small bit of personal information themselves.
  3. Be Controversial A difficult question or statement is a great way to get people to start talking. Even if it might not be your personal opinion, use something that you know will put the cat among the pigeons to inject emotion into the discussion.
  4. Do a Trial Run Having a dress-rehearsal of your session with family or friends as your participants is good practice for a number of reasons; It will help with any pre-sessions nerves you might have while giving you the opportunity to practice timing and anticipate questions.
  5. Be Clear with Your Goals Let participants know exactly what it is you want to achieve with the session at the start to get them thinking immediately about how that goal relates to them. They’ll keep that in mind throughout.
  6. Feed Them Not only are snacks good for brain-food, they’re also a good method of building relationships with your audience since you can take that downtime to interact more casually
  7. Know When to Move On If you come across a participant who is only interested in their own experience of the session, and struggles to give others the opportunity to participate, it’s important that you know how to swiftly move the focus onto other people, or other topics.
  8. Have Tools on Hand Anticipate what tools might be required, for both yourself and your participants. Your session could benefit from flip-boards and markers as you encourage participants to get involved with ideas, or they might need a notebook to jot things down.
  9. Listen Listen to what your participants have to say about your session throughout, not just at the end, to keep them involved by being responsive. Then take their feedback into account for future facilitation opportunities.
