Trainer Tag: You're It!

True or False?  Two heads are better than one. 
 
My answer is “it depends.” Co-presenting is a wonderful opportunity to utilize the talents and experience of two people to increase engagement and learning of the audience members. However, this only happens when both trainers are actively engaged in the teaching process. Frequently I find that one is lecturing while the other is seated, just waiting for their turn to talk.  How much better the experience can be when both are supporting the learning simultaneously!
 

​How does this work? There are three prerequisites for success:
  1. Both presenters must be flexible.
  2. One presenter must become the timekeeper.
  3. Both presenters must give the other permission to jump in and support.
 
There are unlimited ways that two adults can co-present. Here are five of my favorites. For my entire list, click here. I keep this list on my presentation table as a reminder card when I am co-presenting.
 
  1. Writing key points on a chart, whiteboard or with Doceri annotation tool
  2. Adding examples, stories
  3. Echoing key words from Trainer A
  4. Modeling partner activities
  5. Illustrating the learning journey
