3. DON'T INVOLVE THE PARTICIPANTS The quickest way to lose your audience is to simply stand in front of room and talk at them. It was as true for Confucius in 451 B.C., and it's true today -- What I hear, I forget; What I see, I remember; What I do, I understand.

4. USE INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE OR HUMOR There is never an "on" reason to be off color. Inappropriate language and humor lessens your both your image as a professional and your effectiveness as a trainer.

5. BE A KNOW-IT-ALL As trainer, you really are expert. Just don't remind class of it. Remember that every chance you have to raise yourself up will almost always mean lowering someone else by same margin.
