Member Tip #1: Know your Material

Our first member tip comes from a corporate trainer in Pennsylvania, also by the name of Kevin.

"My first tip ... Know your material. We've all been in sessions where the presenter was reading the material right from the slides. It's my belief that is a combination of nervousness, and not knowing the material well enough. If you REALLY know the topic, and the material, the conversation you have with the audience will be much better."

Thanks, Kevin -- that's a great tip. Let me add the best way to see if you know your material, is to try and train it WITHOUT the slide material.
