  8. Co-Facilitation Mistakes • Stay in the room while they are presenting to offer help and ease of mind • Pay attention to the individual even if you know the material • Never disagree in front of the group. • Do not depend on the other facilitator to cover something that you are supposed to cover.

  9. Storytelling Mistakes • Tell a story without letting the audience know • Do not tell the group what they should have gained from the story • Make sure the story has a point • Make sure the story is short • Give credit to the original story giver • Use as little sensationalism as possible

  10. Evaluation Mistakes • Give individuals evaluations before the start • Make sure that they know the evaluation is important to you and them • Allow the participant to write their learning goals down on the evaluation • Thank everyone for going through with the evaluation

  11. Presentation Mistakes • Use eye communication • Acronyms and jargon can be overused • Make every movement count • Do not use a monotone voice • Filler words are of course, bad • Do not force jokes, let them come naturally • Present as yourself, not someone else • Leave the personal agenda at home
