When teaching... don't give away the punch line!

When kicking off your training, start at the end!
Say... “when we wrap up today…”
BUT Don’t tell everything that you have in your brain.
AND Keep it limited... keep them waiting until the end!

I designed a training program that was presented to hundreds of people, and I built a teaser like that into the program. The instructor showed, using a 3 minute simulation, how the company could save a million dollars or more.

“When you complete this training you will clearly see how this was done, and you be able to that too!"

Tell them what they will be able to do at the end, but keep the HOW for later in the presentation. The training can reveal the skills and knowledge needed to get the WIIFM.

Giving the answers early is a big mistake, but asking the questions early is a big benefit!
