What is the difference between presenting, training and facilitating?

There are three main ways of standing in front of a group: presenting, coaching and facilitating. There is certainly an overlap in skills – such as B. dynamic presentation skills, good stage presence, high level of sympathy, ability to “read” the audience. Although they are similar skills, they are not interchangeable. It is valuable to examine the differences between the three processes so that the trainer or presenter or facilitator knows how to respond to the different situations.
