Remember The Basics To Be The Best Instructor

Remember The Basics To Be The Best Instructor

As instructors we have an incredible responsibility to our students, our industry and ourselves. When preparing to deliver a program or course there are a few things that we must always do to ensure we are successful and provide a positive impact.

Dress for success.
Always arrive early and stay late.
Always come prepared.
Be present.
Ask questions during your presentation and allow time for questions to be asked.
Always say "thank you" at the conclusion of your presentation.

Dress for success. Nothing says professional like a suit and tie. You only have one chance at a first impression and unfortunately this is typically done before you are even introduced. Your appearance projects the perception you have about yourself, your material, as well as your feelings about the audience. Sometimes a suit and tie is not appropriate, an example is in house training or training at the academy. If you are wearing your uniform make sure it is pressed, your shoes are shined and you are well groomed. Your appearance gives you confidence that translates into confidence in your delivery that further translates into a successful delivery. You cannot overdress for success...
