Use interactivity to more fully engage participants and make application powerful. 5. Follow preparation steps to ensure a professional, organized, focused delivery. 6. Use a presentation style that creates impact. This application-support handbook covers how to use these techniques. It is a great self-development tool. It can also be used for in-class workshops focusing on stand-up training or facilitation. There are twenty performance-support tools, such as checklists and worksheets, included in this handbook.
