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.
Present: The aim is to present information in a dynamic and interesting way
education: The aim is to increase the knowledge or skill level of the participants through an appealing presentation
relief: The goal is to control the structure and focus of a team’s decision-making process
