Fun 'How Not to Use PowerPoint' Lesson A reader asks: I am trying to develop a position for our organization's use of Subject Matter Experts as trainers in matters that are technical and require their expertise. Is there an industry standard for a ratio of students to instructors in a lecture setting?

Bruce Heichelbech, senior training consultant, E.ON., Louisville, Ky., is a past recipient of the Pike’s Peak Award for implementing creativity into training.

When you’ve completed your leader notes, conference blurbs or research for a conference session, you may want to run your own “readability diagnostic” to ensure the reading level isn’t too high for your audience to grasp.

Nominate yourself, your team or a colleague for a Pike’s Peak Performance Award! How do you help a participant who might be on the outside of the group feel more a part of what’s going on? One technique I’ve used is to involve the outside person in one of my review activities, serving as a “secret assistant.” I call this The Flu Review for reasons that will soon be apparent.
