The Facilitator Guide provides the ability for in-house facilitators to deliver the workshop themselves. In addition to providing a cost-effective means of providing multiple workshops over an extended period, it allows flexibility in scheduling, content and delivery. In combination with the Guide to Making Effective Presentations, it makes a complete package for consultants, instructors, facilitators and educators to teach the design and delivery of presentation skills at all levels.

The Facilitator Guide provides detailed talking points for workshop facilitators to review and refresh their background for putting together and delivering a highly interactive workshop on effective presentations. As a comprehensive guide for facilitating these workshops, it also includes a detailed schedule, sequenced PowerPoint slide miniatures, and facilitator notes for delivering each session.

In addition to the facilitator narrative, it includes:

• A Facilitator Checklist to prepare for delivering the workshop
• PowerPoint slides for presenting the workshop
• Participant Handouts:
  • An Effective Presentations Checklist to assist participants to develop presentations
  • Key Slides from the workshop
  • A Workshop Evaluation Form to provide constructive feedback for the facilitator and the workshop facility

The Guide is packaged in a ring binder and on a disk in Adobe Acrobat format that also includes PowerPoint slides in .ppt format.

The workshop includes short impromptu participant presentations and peer critiques as well as a section on how to use, and misuse, PowerPoint in constructing presentations.
