There are masters with stunts on the stage, and there will also be young white. Who is the master and who is Xiao Bai? Within 2 minutes after taking the stage, sharp-eyed students can see your details.

In the rivers and lakes of training, many newcomers flood in every year and stand in front of the podium at a loss. Looking at the flowers and golden sentences of the seniors on the podium, they are envious. When can we be like them?

"Take a deep breath" and cross the psychological barrier.

Among many factors that affect the classroom effect, the first one is the state of the trainer himself. Before going on stage, nervousness and anxiety are the emotions that many novices will have. In other words, in the vernacular, it is "cowardice".

Tension and anxiety are primitive emotions, which are inevitable, but their influence can be minimized through effective self-regulation.

There are many reasons for novice trainers' anxiety, the most important of which is "fear of making mistakes". I don't know which link has gone wrong and what serious consequences will it lead to. Unconsciously, I fell into my own quagmire, and the more I was afraid of making mistakes, the more I made mistakes.

The more you are afraid of making mistakes, the more likely you are to make them. That is what we often say, "What are you afraid of?"

If you want to overcome this emotion, you need to tilt your psychological center of gravity to the good side of things. You can try to imagine "the overall effect of the course is good" as the goal to be achieved, and regard the lecture process as the only way.

At the same time, don't "block" yourself on the small goal of course effect, and try to focus on the long-term goal of your career. Use "delayed satisfaction" to eliminate your short-term bad mood.

In the teaching process, if the nervousness is obvious, the trainer can completely concentrate on the course content, temporarily stop "receiving" the students' reactions and interactions, and then return to the normal teaching state after the emotional adjustment.

For novice trainers, there is no need to make too "perfect" goals and plans when they first go to the podium. Lower your goals appropriately, allow yourself to make small mistakes, and give yourself sufficient psychological permission and hints.

With a good beginning, the course is half done. Whether you are an old hand or a novice, it is very important to prepare a good opening. Good opening remarks can vividly introduce the training theme, stimulate learners' interest and let learners participate in the course better. Each trainer's opening style is different, depending on his personal style. There are several misunderstandings to be avoided:

● Blindly pay attention to form and ignore function.

"Form" is an indispensable part of opening design. The monotonous opening will make learners feel bored, and the lecturer's own state will not be adjusted. However, any form should be subordinate to the content, and the open form can be colorful, but the following "functions" can not be ignored: Can learners be well managed? Can you adjust the state? Can a connection be established between learners and content?

● Pay too much attention to perceptual experience and ignore rational thinking.

The purpose of opening up is to make the course go on effectively and finally make the knowledge transfer effectively. It is easy for people to accept a thing emotionally, but people really need rational thinking to understand the essence of things. At the beginning of the course, using stories, cases, games and other forms can quickly catch learners' eyes, but it is necessary to guide learners to explore the essence and laws of things.

● Information overflows and points to ambiguity.

There are many tasks to be completed at the beginning, including stimulating learners' interest, introducing topics, managing learners' state and so on. It is difficult to realize all these tasks through one link, so it is necessary to understand the relationship between each link. Otherwise, inputting a lot of information in the opening part will distract learners and affect their understanding of the course content.

A good course must solve the following basic problems:

? Attract students' attention:

? Stimulate learners' interest;

? Introduce the value of the course;

? Introduce the arrangement of the course.

According to this basic idea, the lecturer designs the opening process, and considers the learners' real reaction in the course operation to avoid misunderstanding or hurting the learners' self-esteem. It is easier for students to participate by gradually bringing their attention from "off-site" to "on-site" and guiding it from "on-site" to "classroom content".

It is not easy to control the classroom rhythm, and the veterans of the training ground have their own methodology. For novice trainers, it is more difficult to control the classroom rhythm. Before our methodology is formed, we might as well try to use ready-made methods and techniques.

How to allocate time to teaching content? Bob Parker, the founder of the top training master, put forward the 90-20-8 rule in the book Reconstruction of Learning Experience:

The 90-20-8 rule is called the "golden rule". In the long-term practice, Bob Parker's team found that the duration for a person to keep serious and understand the course content is 90 minutes, and the time for paying close attention to the class is only 20 minutes. At the same time, students should be organized to have a class discussion every 8 minutes to attract their attention and arouse their initiative in learning.

According to the 90-20-8 rule, trainers can use it flexibly: for example, the teaching time of large chapters is set within 90 minutes. In the course teaching, you can take a break or switch styles every 20 minutes or so, slow down the pace, let students relax, so as to enter the best state again in the next link. At the same time, throw out some topics related to the course every 8 minutes or so, which can be carried out in the form of interactive questions and group discussions.

With good tools and methods to "pave the way", over time, the so-called novice will become a unique "veteran" on the training ground.
