Some trainers are considered as best trainers because every sentence they speak gets underlined. Within each of such sentences every word they speak gets installed in the mind of the trainees. Many trainers may speak sensibly. But at the end of what they have spoken for every three minutes, if someone were to take an audit and ask “What did I get from this three minutes’ delivery?’, they should get a positive answer.
STEPS
1. Preparation
While preparing itself trainer should focus on what best he/she can deliver in three minutes’ time? One should question ‘What one concept- one point can I drive home within this time? The entire presentation can be divided into several such sub parts. Each sub-part must have something solid to be conveyed.
2. Rule of Three
Following the rule of three helps trainer to be on the track. Whatever be the given time slot, at least three points are to be earmarked for communicating.
Rule of three also applies to time factor. “One point in three minutes” can be the guiding factor. By this, audience/trainees do not get lost. They should not be allowed to start thinking as to ‘what is this trainer trying to convey? On the other hand, what the trainer wants to convey should reach the trainees automatically.
Advantages
- The presentation remains organized
- It becomes easy for the trainer to place one point after the other without there being any anxiety about the quality and quantity of information to be delivered.
- The presentation remains completely clutter free.
- The trainer can draw the focused attention of the participants very easily.
- The trainees are not burdened with the task of choosing the grain from the chaff.
- Professionalism of the trainer gets highlighted.
- At the end of the session any trainee will be in a position to say 1,2… are my take away points from this session.
- Trainees feel that everything the trainer spoke was relevant.
- Trainees also learn how to place one point after the other for the consideration of the parties, while assisting the parties in negotiation during mediation.
- Trainees do not get a feeling that ‘this trainer talks too much and pours out anything and everything on us’
How to achieve this?
3-4 Trainers may form a small group. One amongst them has to take one topic randomly on the spot from out of several topics written on different slips. Trainer takes 5 minutes of time to formulate the point in mind. Thereafter trainer speaks on the topic with timer being set to three minutes. After 3 minutes the co trainers will tell him/her the point/s /concept/s (if any) they could learn from the speaker. The co trainers will give their fair feedback.
Next speaker picks up another slip and goes on with the presentation.
The process is continued till all the participants get their chance to present.
