The slide is there for the learner, who more likely than not, can also read. Our goal, as an instructor/educator, is to bring the slide to life. Sure, people can take that too far and get learners lost in the weeds of the story and allegory, but if I observed a trainer of mine, “reading slides verbatim”, I would not be pleased and If I had to do that, then I would consider myself either ill prepared or not the right trainer for the topic. Just my %0.02.

I have experienced this myself when attending training sessions delivered by well-experienced trainers. This has challenged me to be more aware of this as I deliver content – not just in Crucial Conversations, but in all content I know well. Thank you for the engaging thought!

This is a great article that came just when I needed to read it! I have a short presentation later today and will be implementing your tips.

I have already shared with others on my team as well.

After 20 years training Crucial Conversations around the world, I stick with the best advice I received 30 years ago from @John Meredith at Covey Leadership Center:”I can achieve more as a Guide on the Side than a Sage on the Stage”!
