Give your audience something to flip over
Give Participants Something to Flip Over
Let me start off by saying that I do NOT like toys or other distractions in training. I’m NOT one to provide little widgets to keep participants’ hands occupied or provide cutesy pens or such trinkets. I’ve always viewed them as distractions that shouldn’t be necessary if your training is engaging and relevant. I recently “discovered” a technique that simultaneously:
- Provides motivational, upbeat phrases for participants
- Reinforces key concepts
- Ensures that everyone is paying attention and following along
- Allows the instructor to tell whether each participant grasps the concept
