Leave your EGO at the door. This is not about YOU! Have a Quick Start and a Big Finish! Try never to talk more then 10-15 minutes without doing something interactive. And saying, “Any questions?” does not count as interactive! If you’re NOT passionate, don’t expect any energy from your audience! Your passion will keep them awake (if not I will wake you up) Your passion will be infectious. Do NOT think of yourself as a teacher or trainer … since that puts the focus on what YOU do. Put a lot more emphasis on the learning and a lot less emphasis on the teaching!
