Designing a Talk
Designing a Talk
No matter how much I know about the subject or how long I have been in the field…
Designing a talk, a facilitation or an intensive workshop is always much more Demanding than Delivering it.
You’ve got to know what your learners need,
You’ve got to know what they might want.
You’ve got to know what the managers/organizers want.
You’ve got to know almost everything about the subject.
You’ve got to know what the learners might know about the subject.
You’ve got to know what other consultants might have shared.
You’ve got to know a lot about parallel fields and subjects.
Then you’ve got to plan, sequence the flow of principles and practices in a novel way.
You’ve got to put in the heavy stuff. You’ve got to place in the applications and the relevancy.You need to consider inclusivity, interaction and the memorability of the program.
At the end of it you’ve got to Deliver a dish that is as filling as steak, light as a salad and yet be finger-licking fun to participate in.
And remember, thunder and lightning will strike you down if you make do as if you’ve worked hard for it and fish for compliments.
