I think that it can also be helpful to come back to individuals and the personal insights you gather from them throughout the session. They get the sense that you’re customizing the content to them because you are.

Definitely enthusiasm AND I make sure to have enough time before class to walk around and personally greet each participant. As I am talking, inevitably someone shares something personal they are struggling with either at home or with a co worker. I always pick a skill they will learn and tell them “you are going to love when we get to CONTRASTING (or whatever is appropriate), because it is really going to help you with that…
It is contagious as even those who don’t share much, or have a bunch of enthusiasm starting out, absorb that positive intent.

I have found it very beneficial at the end of a spaced learning session to ask each member in the class what they are taking away from the session. It has been very insightful for the entire class to hear the comments of what part of the class has been internalized by their peers. By the time we get to the end of the class, some of the comments are similar to others, but this has become a very important part of the session to allow the members to think about what is the lesson content that they are going to work on before the next class.

Enthusiasm. Without it your dead.
1st: Before I teach I remind myself of how Crucial Conversations literally changed my life view. I know it works.
2nd: I remind myself that I am the facilitator not the teacher. Change you r midset from presenting to leading our audience to personal conclusions.
3rd: I remind myself that complacency leads to mistakes. I’m more suseptable to distraction and forgetfullness. Being lost in the material is bad form.

What is the story you tell yourself?
