This is for all instructors out there, both active and prior, as well as civilian counterparts. Though not all-inclusive, I compiled a tentative list of questions I'd like to hear your answers on. Please include additional input as you see fit.
How do you prepare to instruct your people?
How do you make your presentation on point when delivering it?
How do you deal with stress and uncertainty should one occur?
How do you recover/rebounce from not being able to answer questions?
I'd like to hear your ideas and all major lessons that you've learned over time to better yourself as instructor. Thank you for sharing and God bless your expertise!

Be prompt, be clear in communication, be patient because they maybe learning something new, compliment and build them up-it is about them, not you; because you already know how to do it, be confident and competent, task, condition, and standard. Start off with a relative story to the task you are training on or a self-deprecating joke. And read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

Know the materials your teaching and have your instructors practice. Enjoy the class, use proper delivery don't read from the PowerPoint be the example and again have fun. Set the tone with your tone, eye contact and demeanor.

Back in the days when our lesson plan we used were hieroglyphics hammered out on the walls of the cave and I went to ITC, our final presentation we could only use two words on a 3x5 index card for a point to remember on the 30 minute block of instruction we were presenting. Talked to the trees a lot to prepare for that, know your stuff you are training on, somebody that reads from a book or power point presentation word for word does not deliver the point well, preaching it from your heart like a Sunday Fire and Brimstone Preacher will make you look good.

When instructing I think the biggest key to a successful class is to not be the monotone up tight instructor. Be the one that makes the class enjoyable.
1. I prepare by reading the material over and over and then I teach the invisible class in my living room.......
2. As far as an onpoint presentation, I always ask my self if I missed anything. Most of the time tho the class will let you know if they are struggling and ask for guidance(part of being that instructor they look forward to)
3. You can deal with stress in many different ways just don't deal with it In front of your class.
4. Most of the time if you can't answer a question right off the bat I'm sure you have a general idea where to look it's never wrong to tell a student actually I don't know hold on ill go look that up or have them come with you to look it up either way both you and the student gain knowledge
