From speaker to trainer: Lessons learned along the way
2013
Overview
As I celebrated [Patrick]'s 12th birthday and with Samuel's 9th birthday coming up, I'm once again pausing, reflecting and reviewing my journey. In my business I have achieved the perfect balance of training, consulting and keynotes. Though, interestingly enough, as much as I love the adrenaline rush of being on stage, it is the training that I enjoy most. I love seeing the whirr and click on people's faces and I know that they've internalised what I've been sharing with them and they will see and do things differently. Someone once asked at a National Speakers Association of Australia meeting what was the difference between speaking and training and someone cheekily replied \"About five grand!\" When I first became a trainer I quickly realised that I talked too much. As a trainer it's not what you say that is so important, it's what they say. And you need to allow for silence and contemplation so you can hear the quiet 'click' that let's you know, \"Yes! they've got it.\" If you follow my presentation plan, have a strong objective, tailor it to your audience and are knowledgeable and engaging, here's what will happen: 75% of the audience will say 'That was great -1 get it - good job!' 20% will say 'OMGyou rock my world!' Essentially, you got lucky:you delivered to them the right message at the right time. And 5% will say 'That sucked' Why ? Who knows?Maybe they ran over the cat on the way to your workshop, maybe you look like their ex or the kid who used to tease them in grade six, all I know is that you can't win over all people all the time. We all have our 'soft spots' things that don't come naturally to us, tasks that, for us, require extra effort. Pick your soft spots that require attention, not all do. One of my soft spots is that I cannot rollerblade, and you know what? I can live with that. But when I realised that my 'talking too much' was a liability this became a soft spot that needed to be addressed.
