See
your notes while you present
No
need to present in the dark. It's a little known fact that
Powerpoint lets you see your presentation notes and upcoming
slides on your computer . . . while displaying only your
current slide on the projector.
Also,
for bright selection of photos and clipart, to help your
audience "see the light," try BizArt--56,000
images at your fingertips!
The
article below is a quite technical but really helpful if you'd
like to use this PowerPoint feature!

Make
personal introductions a creative exercise!
We
all concur--there's more to a person than a name. So, let your
group share a bit about who they are by starting out with a
creative--"Make Your Own Painters
Hat"--icebreaker.
Leave
some markers out on a table throughout your session and see
how the hat designs evolve.

Dance. Your group will not be able to resist standing up,
stretching their legs, and maybe even moving their hips around
a bit. In just 3 minutes, you'll see their moods and energy
lift.

You
ask if they got it. They smile and nod, "uh
huh." But did they?
During
the next few days, these employees make a number of
decisions that cause you to wonder, "Didn't they
hear what I told them?"
In
this article, Bowman explores how to make sure your
trainees "get it" the first time you say it.
She offers 5 "check-for-understanding"
strategies that will give you a good idea of whether
your group got it, will remember it, and then apply what
they learned.
NOTE:
the article loads slowly, but it's worth reading!
