#You Are Your StyleParticipants respond to YOU:Your voiceYour body languageYour attitudeYour presentation style3#8Tell participants: In many ways, you are your presentation style. To paraphrase an old saying, What you are thunders so loud, I cant hear what you are saying. Participants respond to youor what you seem to be through your voice, your body language, your attitude, and your presentation style. VoiceBe sure you can be heard.Use clear diction.Use the full range of your voice.Concentrate on what youre saying now.Pause to let your audience process the information.Vary the rate of your speech.4#9Tell participants: Every participant has a right to hear the speaker. Pitch your voice so that the person on the back row can hear. Use a microphone if one is available.Be sure to speak clearly and with vocabulary that everyone in the audience will understand.Use the full range of your voice. Begin at a pitch that you can modulate either high or low to convey a point or add interest.Concentrate on what you are saying now rather than what comes next. Emphasizing the immediate will help you send the right message.Use pauses to let people process what you have said or to provide some variety.Vary the rate of your speechsometimes fast, sometimes slow. Remember that talking too fast can lose participants and talking too slow can put them to sleep.Body LanguageKnow the positive and negative gestures.Use them appropriately.Not using body language also sends a message.Spontaneous gestures convey feelings.6#10Show the Communicating Well video on this DVD.Tell participants: Speakers use both positive and negative gestures. Be sure to use them to your advantage to enhance your presentation and to encourageor discourageresponses.Not using body language at all can send one of several messagesperhaps the speaker is ill, perhaps the speaker doesnt care about the subject, or worse yet, perhaps the speaker is afraid of speaking. Spontaneous body language underscores your feelings and helps convey the message.AttitudeIt comes through to the audience.Keeping a positive attitude about learning promotes learning.Eye contact engages the audience and strengthens the message.5#11Tell participants: Your attitude about your subject and about being the presenter will come through clearly to your audience. They will sense what you think and feel, and it will affect how they perceive the message. Keeping a positive attitude about helping people learn promotes learning among the participants.Eye contact sends the message that the presenter cares about the audience. Participants feel a part of things when the speaker looks at them. Eye contact emphasizes a point, helps us slow down, and gives meaning to our words.Presentation StyleThe delivery style should suit the occasion and the audience.Read your audience, not your materials.Be flexible. Adjust your style; stop and clarify.Remember the 20-second rule.Evaluate your presentation to improve.7#12Tell participants: When preparing a presentation, consider the occasion and your audience. Choose a style that is suitable for the situation. If this is a formal occasion, a formal presentation is warranted. If the atmosphere is relaxed, then the presentation can be more casual. The situation will affect everything from the training techniques to the vocabulary you use.Read your audiencenot your materials. It is important to know your material well enough that you are not dependent on reading the visual aids. To aid you in your presentation, use notesan outline, not a script, because its hard to resist the temptation to read a script. Your notes might be on a computer monitor turned toward you, on a list posted at the back of the room, or on the front of the tables where participants are sitting on the front row.It is also important to read your audience and be flexible in your presentation style. When you see questioning faces that suggest that they are having trouble processing what you are saying, it is time to stop and clarify. Glances at a watch might indicate you have gone on too long. Shifting, restless behavior may indicate a need to adjust your style. Bright eyes, smiles, and note-taking are all signs that you are right on target.When you ask the audience a question, remember the 20-second rule: Wait 20 seconds before you rephrase the question or even utter another sound. Participants will respond to the question if you give them this time and dont answer for them. Remember that the quiet seems much longer to you than to them.Get feedback to improve your presentation skills. Provide your audience with an evaluation form. Ask another member of the team to give you some feedback, especially if they see you jangling keys or needlessly pacing.

What Adults RetainDepending on which methods we use to learn, we retain different amounts of the information presented. Adults retain10 percent of what they read20 percent of what they hear30 percent of what they see50 percent of what they see and hear70 percent of what they say90 percent of what they say and do9#13Trainers Edge is on December 7, 2013at Circle Ten Headquarters & January 4, 2014 at University of Scouting

Be completely comfortable with it and be prepared to answer questions. Your confidence in your subject will affect how you present.Prepare your own material. It is all too evidentand a real turnoff to participantswhen a presenter borrows someone elses presentation. As you prepare, insert examples or use a particular turn of phrase to make the presentation your own.Before you begin creating visual aids, review the guidelines in the Trainers Development Conference, paying particular attention to color combinations, words per line, and font readability and sizes.Use visual aids to spark interest and enhance learning by explaining visually what has been described verbally. Visual aids can speed up learning and increase retention.Lastly, but most importantly, practice your presentation.

That environment is set (for the most part) by the skill of the trainer and the methods he or she chooses to use. That is what creates a quality Wood Badge presentation.
