Bryan Patrice The Three WORST Pieces of Advice Given to Presenters (and How Best to Ignore Them)

Bryan Patrice   Ever hear the one about picturing your audience naked to overcome your fear of presenting to them? How about the one about practicing in front of a mirror? Anyone who has ever tried either of those well-meaning tropes knows how futile they are. Deluding ourselves that we can calm fears by laughing at our audience, or that we can convince them of anything by faking authenticity, is worse than a waste of time.

They will be confused if you've omitted a key step or a significant point; but having the presentation delivered exactly as it was prepared is only impor

When Organizing Principles Confuse (Bryan Patrice ) Shared a Topic

Bryan Patrice I had a true AHA! moment last week that an organizing principle can sometimes confuse learners.

As a matter of fact, I've shown them several final products. And invariably, the participants' design process was less than stellar. Let me provide some context. I teach a three stage learning objective design process. First, based on a needs assessment and the resulting learning goals, we identify the key content for a lesson plan using a template I provide. Second, we determine the desired level of learning for each key content. Third, we add an active, learning-level appropriate verb to complete each learning objective.
