what's ahead

When you hire a film or start watching a clip on You Tube, do you always check how long it will run for before deciding to go ahead? Yep me too.

To get all your training participants to 'be' in your session and not just sit there hoping they can leave soon, you need to engage them yes, but you also need their agreement -- telling them how long it runs for and what's ahead is one of the implicit ways you're asking them in.
So dont forget to let people know how long your session will go for and if there will be any breaks.
It's also worthwhile giving them the space to leave if they want to, though the consequences of that need to be apparent to them before they decide, ie if they dont take up this opportunity to learn what will happen? what won't happen?
