….TOT 203- “Avoid- Superfast Delivery”

TOT 203- WEEK 203

(Note: The objective of this  weekly blog is to  help trainers giving training in the field of mediation to strengthen their training skills.)

One of the greatest qualities of a trainer  is  calmness.  Calmness is also the greatest strength of a trainer.  Trainer has to maintain   perfect calmness  from  within. Any anxiety, pressure to perform, constant stress  about possibilities of failure  can all find remedy under  the shelter of calmness.

REASONS FOR FAILURE

Many  a times trainers fail because:-

1. They just will be waiting ( with all their restlessness ) for their chance to get on to  the training floor.
2. They want to deliver what all they have  chosen and ear marked to deliver.
3. They want to pour out  everything  that they have brought in.
4. When they have less  time  , than the time allocated to them, they run too fast to deliver everything  which was supposed to have been delivered in “A “time , in the lesser time. They do not  take a call to cut short  the points, depending on the situation.
5. Even when they have the allotted time at their disposal, they try to over burden the time slot…, with more and more contents, examples, narratives etc,
6. They try to  run super fast., struggling hard to gasp for breath.
7. They are unable to visualise that  the participants/ trainees  cannot be expected to  run  along with the trainer   at that speed, and rather they would withdraw from the session itself.
8. They  fail to understand that  trainees would shut their ears after first few minutes, when they are unable to  cope up with the  unexpected, unhealthy speed of  delivery.
9. They ignore the signals being given by their own body to them and to others sitting in the front that “ all is not well  .’’

BEST PRACTICE:-

Trainer should never try to  run  ahead of the trainees.

Training , is  all about taking the trainees along with  the trainer .

Less in More in training.

  Pace, pause,  space, break-should all be part of the  delivery.

‘One  at a time ‘should be the guiding factor.

Taking stock, positioning,  laying, layering  and thereafter  strengthening should all be part  of  delivery.

It has to be methodical  and neatly  structured.
