Using Handouts to Reinforce Your Training Presentations
with Dr. Bill Lampton
Are handouts still helpful and if so when do we distribute them?
Handouts remain effective for several reasons:
- Participants get a take home or a take to the office summary of the major points which serves as a learning and memory prompter.
- If your presentation included calls for action, attendees will have a concrete reminder of exactly what you expect them to do.
- When your message confuses a listener the handout brings clarification.
- Expecting a handout, the listener doesn’t have to depend on meticulous distracting note taking to absorb the information.
- Audience members have easy access to web sites, books, videos and other resources you mentioned including contact information for guest presenters.
- You have shared a record of what you said, which could become useful if a listener claims you had proposed another plan.
- A handout assures the listener that you studied your topic thoroughly.
Note: Don’t miss important information on how and when to distribute handouts.
