Write a script, plan out what you’re going to say, when, and even include the jokes. That way you’re always in control. Works better when you’re facilitating remotely because you can have your notes and the video call software open side by side. Good luck!
I hear that. I'm not a fan of facilitating- I much prefer to be on the design side of L&D. But I can say, it gets easier with repeated exposure. The first few experiences will make you super nervous if this isn't a natural or enjoyable thing for you. But each attempt helps to break down that fear as you see the good, the bad, and the unexpected.
I think it can also help to sort of rethink your mindset. Are there some folks who will be judgmental? Of course. But what about those friends in your class who genuinely want to learn, or need your help to reach their next goal? If you approach the facilitation thinking more about helping others, it can sometimes rearrange that nervousness. You worry less about your own feelings and more about getting folks the info and experiences they need. It's still hard, but it helps. :)
1. Observe others who are great at facilitating
2. Get comfortable with silence and find a way for the audience to fill the silence
3. Focus on others, not yourself
4. Put your hand up for facilitating as much as possible, overtime you’ll correct your mistakes
Before you get in front of the audience know what your starting sentence will be as create anchors so if you lose your place you can just start at one of those anchors. By that I mean sentences that start a section. In almost every course you do the audience will have no idea what order you normally present content in.
Also to help with physical nerves a great thing you can do is body weight squats as your body's fight or flight response has been triggered and you can trick your brain into thinking that is dealing with the "threat". You will divert blood to your lower body as well as use up the adrenaline.
Having notes is important. Plan out what you want to say. You won’t say it exactly as it is written but you’ll be close. I even do this for meetings and 1:1s
Start with a poll or question or fun fact after your introduction
Be casual. Nerves are normal. They’ll soon leave once you get started.
Remember, you are the one with the knowledge.
Have fun and engaging slides
Practice and work alongside someone else who knows the ropes. You could also enlist the skills of an L&D facilitator to mentor you?
Remember that the training participants don’t know what’s written in your facilitator guide/training materials. If you miss something, you don’t have to call yourself out “oops, meant to talk about _____ first…” just roll with it!!
And to repeat one I read above, be okay with the silence, the long pause… don’t fill with “um.” And when you ask a question, let it linger. Often I’ll set it up ahead of time that this training is interactive and you get out what you put in - I expect participation and if I hear crickets, I’ll start calling names!
Finally, the 7 Ps. Proper planning and preparation prevents piss poor performance. Be familiar with the material - no surprises. Practice with technology ahead of time, every time.
