I try to be a little more relaxed in my approach when I am teaching anything. I am not rigid in following anything word-for-word, but I want to be sure to include all necessary areas.
Before I actually train someone, I go through all the materials and highlight what I think are the most important parts of the materials to be covered. I often also take notes so that I have written it and it is fresh in my mind.
When I am presenting, I like to keep those materials in front of me, but I provide the training in a more conversational manner. I can flip through my highlights and notes to be sure I don't forgot to include something, but I don't want to appear to be following it so closely that the presentation seems canned.
I love to model what I'm doing and get participants to help out with remembering what should be done. I try to look for ways to include everyone in a "safe" way so they don't feel that I have put them on the spot. I have an IPEVO so I can model what I'm doing on paper and they can follow along.
