Training from the BACK of the Room! (TBR)

The title of this blog entry came from a friend in the speaking industry – a motivational speaker who was trying to change his own habit of speaking non-stop, without allowing any audience participation.

For those of us who have been doing this “teaching/training” thing for awhile, we often seem to base it on “Well, if learning a certain way works for me, it should work for others.” Maybe that’s the case; but, then again, maybe not.

I must admit that I check email a few times during the day – well, actually, quite a lot, if I count email check-ups on my iPhone, as well as my computer. It goes like this: Do a little work here, check email there. More work, more email. And maybe I throw in a web search or two, for good measure.
